Jolicloud Pivots Yet Again As A Start Page For Cloud Services ? Have they Cracked It This Time?

"Never give up, never surrender" is the pull out quote from Galaxy quest, and it's an actual phrase Jolicloud founder Tariq Krim used to describe the re-launch of the re-launch of the pivot of cloud-based 'social aggregation service. Ok, OK, that's unkind and you've got to give the guy a hand - he he keeps going. This is a mission-focused entrepreneur if ever you've seen one. But it's fair to say Jolicloud has had a fair few changes in direction and one might even say it's about to pivot so hard it's beginning to resemble the startup Krim became known for first, Netvibes, a start page. To explain: Jolicloud started as a Linux distribution, even sold laptops at one point, then launched a cloud service aggregating all your social accounts, and now it's changing again to become a kind of merger between a desktop in the cloud, and a home/start page for your all your cloud accounts, from Twitter to Dropbox. They call this a 'Start page for your cloud life' and say this latest move is based on what users have told the they want, including the 4 million who downloaded their Linux distro.
