Out of business

— HotOffice.com Unable to raise funding; shut down in December

— iSearch Ended service in March after a failed buyout

— Pandesic Announced in July it was ceasing operations due to a lack of profitability

— Red Gorilla Abruptly closed in October, blaming a falloff in funding

— ShopTok Called it quits in March after funding failures

Critical condition
— Agillion. Went up for sale in March and laid off 25 of its 45 employees

— Breakaway Solutions. Faced CEO shake-up and two rounds of layoffs since December

— FutureLink Moving away from ASP model after reported US$205.1 million fourth-quarter loss
