Back when I was working for a search website, I remember Mamma was in talks to buy us out. I always thought that (a few things aside), the site was a slapdash, poorly thought-out website with no vision. I can't understand, to this day, why they wasted valuable corporate time meeting with our company's CEO. To be honest, it probably was because they too were an aimless "Quebec Inc" startup with too much money and no idea on how to use it.

All that to say, anyone with even the smallest background on Mamma would never put their money in it. Mark Cuban strikes out again.
