Kinitos / NeoEdge Networks Archive Project

Public summary page for the deep archive covering the company line that began as Kinitos, evolved into NeoEdge Networks, passed through the Blue Noodle phase, and ultimately ended in the 2011 Double Fusion asset and IP transfer story. The project now has active source research, archived site captures, investor and funding notes, and a contract-based handoff path back to the top-level Steven Woods hub.

Current State

Company arc is now visible

The archive no longer treats Kinitos and NeoEdge as disconnected names. The current material shows a usable line from the 2002 Kinitos founding into NeoEdge's ad-supported games business and then into the Blue Noodle endgame.

MostFun is real and documented

Archived MostFun pages now show a real NeoEdge-operated consumer game network with its own Game Player, catalog pages, NeoARM-linked detail pages, and direct NeoEdge branding.

Double Fusion IP path is stronger

The archive now has both trade-press acquisition coverage and patent-assignment evidence showing that at least some NeoEdge / Blue Noodle intellectual-property assets moved into Double Fusion in 2011.

Contract boundary is in place

This project acts as the canonical deep company archive, while only short Steven-relevant summaries are nominated upward through the archive coordination handoff files.

Archive Timeline

2002 to 2005: Kinitos

Kinitos appears in official and press material as the post-AOL company Steven Woods co-founded, with evidence from the 2003 University of Saskatchewan lecture page and Microsoft-linked enterprise software coverage in 2004 and 2005.

2007 to 2008: NeoEdge and MostFun

By 2007 and 2008, NeoEdge's archived site and MostFun's own captured pages show a three-sided model spanning advertisers, partner websites, and game publishers, plus a consumer-facing free premium game network delivered through NeoEdge technology.

2010 to 2011: Blue Noodle

The Blue Noodle phase is now visible in both trade coverage and archived company pages. The February 8, 2011 capture presents Blue Noodle as the leading ad platform for casual and social games and highlights both developer monetization and MMV financing.

2011: Collapse, asset sale, and IP transfer

Fortune's August 17, 2011 Blue Noodle report, December 2011 acquisition coverage, and Google Patents assignment records together give the clearest current public account of the company's final phase and the transfer of assets into Double Fusion.

Where To Look

Archive Workflow

1. Intake

Raw article leads, archived HTML captures, screenshots, funding references, notes, and short campaign files land in the archive intake lane before being classified or summarized.

Folder public/kinitos-neoedge/incoming/
Use staging, source review, research-note drafting, and follow-up campaign tracking

2. Source review

Each source gets a stable source_id, a status of approved, deferred, or rejected, a canonical URL, and a short note explaining why it matters to the company history.

Files project-manifest.json, source-manifest.json, public-handoff.json
Outcome stable coordination between archive detail and top-level public summary

3. Historic archive

Once material is understood, it can be preserved in the historic tree by type so later exhibits, technical reconstructions, and narrative pages do not have to start from scratch.

Folder public/kinitos-neoedge/historic/
Types memories, demos, artifacts, code

Active Questions

Pre-2006 Kinitos funding

No distinct Kinitos-only funding source has been firmly verified yet. The clearest investor trail currently begins in the later NeoEdge / Blue Noodle period.

Yahoo Games cluster

The 2008 Yahoo / NeoEdge rollout is well-supported as a source cluster, but the blocked CNET article still needs a better archive capture before that branch is fully closed.

Post-2011 product continuity

We can now show that IP moved into Double Fusion, but we still do not have strong later public evidence of NeoEdge-branded or MostFun-branded products continuing there.

Next capture targets

The best next technical targets are the NeoEdge partner and publisher pages, MostFun DetailsNeoARM.aspx pages, and additional Blue Noodle team or news captures from the 2010-2011 window.

Working Note

Current read: this project has crossed from setup into real historical reconstruction. The strongest current evidence now combines official pages, archived company websites, funding coverage, and patent assignment records into one coherent archive spine.
