Profilactic is Seeking a Caring Home
Profilactic has been through a lot in the last six months. Our founder (Shawn) has taken a new job and moved. Our developers (Tom & Eric) have been extremely busy with a new day job and a growing startup. All this has led to a somewhat diminished role with our involvement in Profilactic over the last several months. However, new user signups still flow in and traffic continues to increase. It's hard to believe we started talking about building Profilactic back in April of 2006 and later launched the beta in December of that same year. Since then we've added 190+ sites that support profile pages and/or lifestream feeds that fuel mashups and widgets.

But alas, we have reached the burnout point with Profilactic. Trying to build/maintain a site on the side for over two years has been tough on us and rather than turn it off, we are looking to shop it around so it will continue to live. We are looking for any parties that would be interested in purchasing www.profilactic.com and keep the concept going (and inject some fresh biz dev ideas). We aren't looking for a windfall here (although we'll take it ;-P ). We just want to recoup what we have put into it over the past (hosting fees, lawyer fees etc.).

Feel free to contact us via email if you are interested and would like to discuss any opportunities.

Thanks,
