I remember hearing about "Pebble" for the first time about a month ago when it showed up in an article in my "all" feed (https://pawb.social/post/2688668).
Its name before its rebrand was already questionable as I think T2 already has strong associations with the Terminator franchise; and its new name was not any better. "Pebble" is too generic a term to get people to understand the platform's concept and in the tech space, I think everyone would think of the wearables first.
All this to say I am zero percent surprised they went out of business. I'm only surprised it happened so shortly after their rebrand (though at this point I'm starting to think that must have been some sort of Hail Mary).
Yep, I looked it up that day for the first time and haven’t heard about it again until now, when they’re kind enough to tell us to not even bother with it.
I have never heard about it until this announcement of its demise :p
