Subject: [PW] What Happened to gethuman.com?

Some time ago I learned about the useful site http://gethuman.com/.  As 
described in Librarians' Internet Index (2007-02-15):

 >>
This website features a list of consumer service telephone numbers and
tips 
for how to get to speak to a person. The  company lists also include a 
letter grade and are browsable by category, such as automotive, credit, 
finance, insurance, products, and travel. The site includes a
description 
of how grades are assigned, a blog, and discussion forums. From a
consumer 
advocate and other volunteers.

When I tried to visit gethuman a few minutes ago I was redirected to 
http://www.kayak.com/, a travel search engine.  At the moment Google
still 
has a cached copy of the site retrieved on September 7.  Gethuman and
Kayak 
were both founded by the same person 
(http://www.behance.com/Featured/Articles/Paul-English-Getting-Human/552
4), 
but I don't see any explanation for gethuman's disappearance on the
Kayak 
site.

This seems odd. Has anybody heard any rumors?
