Omnidrive Deadpooled? No Really, This Time It Looks Bad…Or Maybe Not

The on-again off-again saga of Aussie online storage startup Omnidrive continues.

Only last month founder Nik Cubrilovic was telling anyone who would listen that the fact that the domain had expired and the service had gone down continually was not a sign that Omnidrive was on its way to the deadpool.

Well, now the company has been listed as deadpooled in TechCrunch’s CrunchBase.

The relevance of this?

  1. TechCrunch editor Michael Arrington is an investor in Omnidrive, so if the company wasn’t deadpooled you’d think he’d quickly fix this up
  2. Nik Cubrilovic is a regular poster to TechCrunch so you’d figure if it wasn’t true he’d either sort it out himself or be on the phone to his mate, Arrington, to do it
  3. Duncan Riley explains that only TechCrunch employees are allowed to make changes to Crunchbase like this, and he’d know, he used to be one.

It hasn’t been confirmed, but with the evidence of a month ago, today’s new evidence and the lack of a response from anyone involved with the company all combined, it’s not looking good.

UPDATE:

So Omnidrive is no longer deadpooled on CrunchBase and Nik has come out and commented on Inquisitr saying Omnidrive is not dead and, in fact, had a record traffic month in May. For those who can’t be bothered reading the comments, here’s Nik’s explanation for the deadpooling:

Ye I believe it was one of the interns and yes it was an accident.

Hmmm…
