Classy "top-tier Internet consulting and development company" Oven.com has shut its London office and said bye-bye to 200 staff.

An indication that even if you have a fancy Web site, offices in all the main cities in the world and big clients like AT&T and Harper Collins, the Internet world will swallow you up and spit you out. Oh well.

Unconfirmed reports are that the staff have all gone out for a big curry and ten pints. ®
