We first wrote about the Barbados-based company Herrd.com – (the Caribbean News Social Network where you can share, discover, bookmark, and promote Caribbean stuff that’s important to you) when they were weeks old. The fresh-faced Caribbean startup which launched in July 2007 was mapping the global online trend of news via social networking, gunning to be the number one in the region, like the America-based Digg.com is now globally. They were on a sweet growth path until recently. We reported in November last year that we got a suspected malware site warning every time we surfed on over there. Nowadays, that picture you see with this blog post is what we’ve been getting. Have they hit the dotcom dead pool or are they regrouping?
