They have started to scrub linkedin.  Note the spelling mistake of the new company name.

Yup, so-nice-negry in the URL, sonic-eng-ery™ in the title.

Perhaps there is some kind of US law quirk that gives them a loophole if they avoid using the word "energy"?

I just noticed they have misspelled it TWICE!  :-DD
Enegry in URL and Engery in the title.
I prefer Engery as it rhymes with Injury  :-+

Their web site is sonicenergy.com, so the other spellings appear to reflect their sloppiness.

Have they been hacked, or are they making a complete fool of themselves on purpose, I really can't decide.:scared:

Looks like they fixed their name on linkedin but they are stuck with the URL.

Notice the company website on their linkedin page points to ubeam.com.

Crack marketing team there...

I was going to say the same. How could you possibly have someone doing the marketing and opening accounts who can't spell the company's new very simple name. I can't spell myself but I could manage 'sonic energy' without help.

Now they're attempting time travel.

SonicEnergy is excited to demonstrate our newest Customer Development Kit at 2019 OurCrowd Global Investor Summit on March 7th. Register at https://lnkd.in/gaQ3PHS to watch it live!

And the link goes to the future 2020 summit, and they won't be there! :horse:

I'm surprised totalincompetence.com and totallyincompetent.com are free, perhaps they couldn't spell it.

Perhaps the spare uDream workers would like to implement binary protocols and debug electrical circuits by tracing and probing.
