Yes, this makes me humbly proud of my achievements: few customers, profitable can can continue to invest in R&D beyond the operational aspects of the business.
Good find, it looks like you're right, essentially another collaborative to-do app (note, visit the link yourself, I am grossly oversimplifying)
I really wonder why they are shutting down. This kind of service doesn't seem like it would take a lot to run, and even less so if they didn't have enough users
I think they tried starting a company, not a charity.
For something that _costs_ money of each user, every user is a user too many. You need customers, and I don't think they had any (the service seems to have been free)
I had no idea what they did (had never heard of them) but the domain is impressive. Probably worth half a million. Domain market isn't what it used to be.
This is from a reputable domain broker I spoke to, as I was trying to sell a decent domain I own. She said that keyword domains and short single word domains even were all lowering in value recently. This was due to google search eliminating people's need to remember a domain, more TLDs (.co, etc) and people using social to find things too.
But what does that say bout hte business leaders? Serious Question:
How is it that seemingly many 'businesses' can be started to scale to "millions" -- yet fail in finding ANY way to cover OpEx?
