I used to pitch up against some of the "big guys" -- NetG, SkillSoft -- who do some custom development, but the clients would choose our small shop because we provided better customer service.

Who remembers NetG? NetG, was the evil empire of the days gone past – ok, in my mind. speed with no latency issues would be acquired by NetG and shoved into the Raiders of the Ark storage facility, next to the ark itself. Back in the day, there were some big names out there. Real interactive stuff. But Office ruled. .

The only other power was Skillsoft, who went an acquisition spree (RIP NetG and Element K). Learn.com started out as an LMS (yuck) but saw the future and moved to selling courses and content. We are talking in the stone age for the industry. Frankly, the money was in the content, the system a here you go.

I consider them the first, because Skillsoft just acquired course publishers, NetG – who acquired the most amazing video course solution, which could run on 38.8Kps, and you could bookmark the courses – unheard of.

Hmm, let’s see NetG (back in the day), Skillsoft, Playback Media (not the new one out there, but another one – may the rest in peace), a few other shops and Rosetta Stone (yes, that Rosetta Stone). I refused to be the middleman or go between (unless a massive issue arose, but I never loaded the courses myself). And guess what?

. : ) as in walk away… Why is it important to find out if they have any or have they ever uploaded off the shelf 3rd party SCORM courses from another vendor (regardless of netg, skillsoft, elementK, whomever), because there may come a time, where you want a management or leadership course or a MS Word course and you do not want to build it.

When they went course aggregator, I saw them as a nice alternative to Skillsoft who was off acquiring other course providers including NetG and then down the road, Element K. It wasn’t great or okay, good, but there were people who liked it.

Sadly, one day I called, they were out of business, sold to the nefarious NetG – who likely placed them in a huge warehouse next to the remains of a famous pharaoh. Ditto on the 3rd party content, including one vendor who figured out how to create a video with bookmarks and chapters that streamed without issue on a 56K modem. Sadly,
