With Labatt apparently gone and no word – either to confirm or deny – the sale of ezboard, Inc. and its bastard offspring yuku, you do wonder why whoever has bought them hasn’t seen fit to publicise the purchase with a press release.

In most industries – and especially anything to do with the Internet and online services – anything and everything of hardly any importance is greeted with a flurry of press releases and news items on web sites.

So why not this? Or is ezboard such a dirty word these days?
