OpenCandy re-branded as SweetLabs?
In the first portion of the article, there is a reference to "OpenCandy [being] shut down in 2016"
An exhaustive web-search discloses no, repeat ZERO, references to OpenCandy being "shut down", though the "opencandy.com" site appeared to be down when I tried to reach it today. However there were a number of very interesting facts disclosed by this search:
- Sweetlabs was founded in 2008 [1]
- OpenCandy's Twitter page was created in 2008, and maintains continuing references to SweetLabs. [2]
- SweetLabs employees brag about getting OpenCandy swag, both on the Twitter page noted above, as well as on Instagram. [3]
- SweetLabs advertises monetization via app install bundling [4]
- At least two of OpenCandy's original founders were also founders of SweetLabs, including Darrius Thompson and Mark Chweh. [5]
I think it is safe to assume that OpenCandy had become so notorious that it was rebranded and/or subsumed by a new company called SweetLabs.
Suggestion: Remove the reference to OpenCandy being "shut down" and add a reference to it being part of SweetLabs.
What say ye?
