Zango on the run ? Building for lease. Anyone looking for office space ?
I was informed that zango has moved out of their Seattle location. From the information I received they moved out pretty quick.
![]() Picture above shows the for lease sign in front of their building. So are they on the run ? Losing money and down sizing ? Anyone have any info ? Looks like a good building to lease, do you think anyone here would want to move in?

Have you considered that maybe they made enough money and moved to a newer and larger building? Sudden moves aren't always negative.
That being said, they could relocate over the border into Canada and escape the FTC. |

Jesus.. you should come to Southeast Michigan - every commercial property in all the best areas has a for sale or lease sign in front of it! Thank you Mr. President, Mrs. Governor with honorable mentions going to GM, Ford, Chrysler and Pfizer!
Just for the sake of argument, I would say that most moves happen quickly - usually a ton of movers show up and do that shit fast! ![]() Brad

I will also add this: Near my house is a 5 story office building that use to have a big "Speedware" on the top (the people from Gammae will know where I am talking about). The reality is that while their name was on the building, they were only occupying a percentage of the overall building.
Zango would be doing themselves a favor to move out of the US, as they are really risking running into more FTC trouble (their install methods are still as scummy as ever, with prechecked "approval" boxes and the download button disguised as "play video" or "play game" rather than "install scumware".) |

![]() http://www.clickz.com/showPage.html?page=3625262 House Hears IAB, DMA, TRUSTe and Others on Stalled Spyware Bill ? ? ? ClickZ News By Kate Kaye | March 16, 2007 Representatives of marketers, online ad firms and privacy watchdogs convened in the Rayburn House Office Building yesterday for a subcommittee hearing to revisit spyware legislation originally introduced in 2003. While witnesses representing Internet advertisers supported the legislation on the whole, they expressed concern about the potential for the bill to infringe too greatly on their business practices, hindering access to free, ad-supported Web content. Despite their apprehension, the hearing and related bill could amount to a proverbial tree falling in the legislative woods. Members of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection, a subdivision of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, came together to reiterate the need for passage of H.R. 964, The Spy Act, legislation aimed at protecting Web users' personal privacy -- and to a lesser degree -- plain old aggravation caused by unwanted spyware downloads. Present was a panel of five witnesses providing perspectives on the proposed law. Internet watchdogs were represented by TRUSTe and the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT), while representatives from adware firm Zango, behavioral targeting firm Tacoda, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) stood in for the online ad industry. Witnesses concurred most of the main provisions of the "Securely Protect Yourself Against Cyber Trespass Act" are worthy of putting into law. Agreeable stipulations prohibit unauthorized or uncontrollable computer takeover by software, delivery of ads that are difficult to close, collection of personally-identifiable information through keystroke logging and misrepresentation or removal of security software. The legislation would also require notice and consent before software installation. Then came the caveats. Two sections of the bill in particular were bones of contention for witnesses. Section 3 is deemed potentially too far-reaching by both the DMA and the IAB. Along with others on the panel, Jerry Cerasale, the DMA's SVP government affairs, commended the subcommittee's efforts on the bill as a catalyst for industry self-regulation, Federal Trade Commission anti-spyware action, and statewide spyware legislation. But he expressed concern that Section 3 of the proposed legislation "goes further than we would want." The bill, he added, should "strike the balance for consumer choice plus advertiser- and marketing-supported Internet content." The section deals with the collection of information about Web pages visited by users to deliver ads. Dave Morgan, a panelist representing both the IAB as chairman of its Public Policy Council and Tacoda as founder and chairman, worried the section's provisions would create a "one-size-fits-all definition" for technologies used to target and deliver advertising. "There's not a lot of clarity of how Java or AJAX would be treated," he told ClickZ News after the hearing session. "The view is that what the bill should focus on is the bad behavior," said Morgan, noting the original intent of the legislation was to penalize spyware purveyors, not craft broad regulations on constantly-evolving Internet technologies. The "Good Samaritan Protection," Section 5 of the legislation, protects providers of anti-spyware applications used to remove software violating Sections 2 or 3. No one on the witness panel was too keen on the stipulation. "Zango urges the committee to delete subsection 5C," said Christine Varney, esquire, an attorney representing adware firm Zango on the panel. Previously 180solutions, Zango settled with the FTC in November of last year, agreeing to pay $3 million in ill-gotten gains for using deceptive methods to install adware on users' computers and block its removal. Witnesses were concerned the Good Samaritan provision could unjustly protect companies with applications that categorize legitimate software as spyware, or dupe users into downloading spyware that masquerades as a spyware-remover. The Spy Act has been passed twice by the House, but still awaits Senate approval. Indeed, subcommittee members expressed amazement that the Senate continues to stall passage. The bill's limbo status "is a mystery to me," said Joe Barton, Congressman from Texas. Sources familiar with the stage of the legislation, however, doubt a third passage by the House will be the charm that moves it to the President's desk. With the Senate fully focused on Iraq, sudden dismissals of U.S. Attorneys General, and other hefty matters, it's unlikely The Spy Act or similar Senate legislation will hit the Senate floor anytime soon. Even if it is passed into law, in its current state, the Act would sunset in 2014. |

There are three buildings in the complex. Zango was in two of them, and the last time I was there the other had space available. Threw my Slurpee cup away in their garbage bins - let them pay for my crap for once.

Last week I was told that they moved out of their building. Today I received photo confirmation and thought I would share with everyone.

Point being the sign was there then just not as prominent and Zango was definitely still there. I'll have to drive by this weekend.

I think they make a lot more than that. They grossed 50 million back in 2004, I am sure they are doing a lot more than that now. I would have to think their profit margin is more than 1%

Most signs are just rented space for image purposes, they might of had a small office maybe more. Who knows.

No, they had two buildings pretty damn full. My guess is they've got bigger space since they couldn't get the third building. Their website still lists their HQ there though.

I think the chances of them upgrading to a bigger building is alot higher than them downgrading.

Ok, so I was stuck in traffic and decided to drive by. They've vacated one of their two buildings and there's definitely what I'd call a skeleton crew in the other. They have to have moved somewhere - layoffs that big don't go unreported around here, especially somewhere so... juicy.
