Bluelithium seems to have become defunct due to the Yahoo sale. I am a publisher and I have noticed that since January, they no longer respond to emails, their fill rate has dropped considerably (maybe they aren't getting new advertisers), and at least in my case they have stopped paying, even though I am owed money. Also, the phone number listed above is disconnected. Its too bad because they were a very good network before the sale.
