Comment on Ask HN: Why did Etherpad, Stypi & Simplenote give up on their original products?

Comments

Did the original products have revenue sufficient to support the companies and their investors?

I guess that's part of the question - why were these products not able to generate the required revenue. Is this the type of product that people are just unwilling to pay money for and one that's not supportable by advertising?

Evernote - seems to be doing fine though - given that they have a product in a similar vein.
