ThingWorld was founded in 1996 as Parable. It offers mutimedia technologies such as "digital collectibles" to help businesses build promotional campaigns
with branded online content. Customers such as Major League Baseball and the WWF and "lock" digital content, allowing it to be distributed
securely to specified Web communities or portals.
Its decline is the latest in a string of bad news for CMGI, the Andover, Mass., Internet holding company. CMGI,
through its @Ventures investment arm, was an early ThingWorld investor.
But if CMGI misjudged the viability of ThingWorld's business model, it was not alone. Other backers include: Intel, Microsoft, CYRK, Wasserstein Perella
& Co., The Kraft Group, FleetBoston, NFL Quarterback Club and Venture Management.
