What happened to This Is By Us TIBU?
Sadly, a very nice website could not attract enough advertisers to maintain its business model. TIBU could not expand it's base outside of writers and altnernative writers and therefore could not attract advertisers that were willing to pay for this niche market. In many respects TIBU was better than the still operational Helium.com especially since writers had more options especially having the ability to pick our own title. Time will tell if the Helium.com business model is also flawed...but it is sad to see the demise of TIBU.
