PodTech Acquired by ViewPartner

Eric "Scoop" Eldon is reporting that corporate podcasting service PodTech has been acquired by ViewPartner for less than one million dollars. Eldon notes, "The investors, from my understanding, were looking to make PodTech more of a blog network, and didn’t see eye to eye with the company’s early employees on what, exactly, the company intended to be." PodTech raised $7.5 million in venture capital.

PodTech has seen it's share of drama in the past. Last October founder John Furrier left the company. Some of their content was questionable at best. Former PodTech employee Jeremiah Owyang left for Forrester, Robert Scoble quit then later joined FastCompany.

A year ago I tried to offer PodTech some ideas on how to at least improve their image. There's room for a corporate video production company in the market. It will be interesting to see what happens to PodTech under the ViewPartner umbrella.
