Unreachable website that had little to no actual impact during its lifespan. Fully half of the text is not about this company/web site at all but about other things the founder has done in an obvious attempt to pump up the citations. Of the ten citations about the company, seven are 404 or redirected and no longer available. Two of the remaining are simple press releases and one is a story in the Independent newspaper about that paper buying tech from this company for the paper's then-new video news service. None of the sources in the article are independent of the company. The possibility of making this an article about Eborn (the founder) since two-thirds of the cites are about their projects instead is also undermined by the same sourcing problems. There are no other sources available through searches to suggest notability of the person or the company under GNG or any relevant SNG that do not share these issues.

Delete I don’t really see anything here that looks like solid notability. The article has been updated regularly for years with new press releases so although the whole thing is pretty messy the main purpose of it appears to be promotional and I don’t believe most if the contributions have been made by uninvolved editors.
