Web 2.0 casualty

Ringo sent somber announcement to its subscribers that it was closing shop. They even offered to pack one's photos for download if need be, as they would be gone when they discontinue their services at the end of june 08.

Ringo was a networks whereby membership grew through invitation, therefore large chunks of individuals who knew each other-friends, relatives and friends of friends.

While such well-meant endeavour ought to have grown from strength to strength, it is unfortunate it has come to this, and one of the best networks too. It was my top birthdays reminder and my connection to remote relatives whereby we kept in touch at least twice a day--during our individual birthdays. Anyways, it's been said good 'uns don't last (Anon).

Good people of Ringo, anytime you should consider resuming with the good job, you have an adoring supporter here!
