Smeet Reacts to Bailamo’s Bankruptcy
About two weeks ago 3D chat Bailamo went offline. Today former rival Smeet announces the takeover of Bailamo’s domain. Bailamo’s users are now offered a new way of 3d chat. Bailamo was narrowly focused on 3d flirt chats, whereas Smeet offers a wide range of functions like videos, webcam shows or telephone. As covered, Smeet just recently launched new features like levels and developing objects. With the Bailamo domain takeover additional users can be acquired. “We regret that the Bailamo project could not be continued. With the takeover we hope to offer Bailamo users a new way of 3D chat” says Smeet CEO Sebastian Funke.

Actually after Fabien Röhlinger has left the company (rumors says he has been kicked out) this was easy to see coming. His companion Sven Woltmann did a lot of work for Röhlinger’s new company (FonPit AG) even though he was still CTO of Bailamo AG. CCO Adina Tkatsch tried to run Bailamo with a handful of students, but alas, she hasn’t had the experience. So running into bankruptcy possibly could have been avoided, but again it was expected from a lot of spectators. By the way, Röhlinger and Woltmann still are building up their new company after a period of about 7 years and about the same amount of companies that have been died or ran into bankruptcy. Hopefully, Smeet turns out to be more stable for its users.
