This is David from Versionate. We are not dead :)

I apologize for the lack of updates on the blog. We've been working hard to develop a new product that solves problems in similar space as Versionate called Zecter. It aims to make file sharing and collaboration simple, and directly from the desktop.

As for Versionate, we are still supporting it, and may integrate some of the features of Zecter back in the future.

Too bad, I've been hoping someone would come along and drive Confluence out of where I work. It is an "enterprise wiki", which is to say it adds tons of features that get in the way of work, but that management likes. It takes days of emails just to get all the permissions changed to allow someone to see a page you wrote.

The company's not dead. They just changed their name to Zecter. They're working on a new approach to some of the problems Versionate solves.

This is bad PR. If it's not true, shouldn't it be deleted?

Stories that aren't 100% accurate are on YC fairly regularly; deleting just the inaccurate stories that affect YC companies would be quite unfair.

I agree, deleting the story would be bad PR in itself. Better to correct any misconceptions because if one person is confused then many people are.
