One of them, social networking and file-sharing site <a href="http://sharenow.com">Sharenow.com</a>, has apparently provided extra funding to keep Uber going, but it's unclear for how long. The message also urged Uber users to continue posting and to tell more friends about the service, as &quot;the more activity we get, the better chance we have to keep this going.&quot; </p> <p><b>More news, commentary, and predictions from <i>The Industry Standard</i>:</b></p> <ul> <li>News: <b><a href="http://www.thestandard.com/news/2008/09/29/niche-social-network-uber-com-shuts-down-today">Niche social network Uber.com shuts down today</a></b></li> <li>Special Feature: <b><a href="http://www.thestandard.com/news/2008/05/29/where-are-they-now">Where are they now? <i>The Industry Standard</i> tracks down 10 dot-coms from the Web bubble of the late 1990s</a></b></li> <li><b><a href="http://www.thestandard.com/newsletter">Industry Standard Daily Newsletter Signup</a></b></li> </ul> http://www.thestandard.com/news/2008/10/01/sharenow-throws-uber-lifeline#comments co:Sharenow co:uber.com deadpool Software &amp; Web The Industry Standard Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:40:11 -0400 Ian Lamont 119245 at http://www.thestandard.com
