Interesting: upcoming and looming and probable site deaths as well as past deaths of major sites. Got an idea... check this list first

This reminds me of my early days where I hosted some simple web tools at Hypermart before they decided to close it down.  Google seems to close down things a LOT, so much so that people probably are less likely to rely on their next bag services.

Side note:  The NSA should open up free cloud services, with them storing everything anyway it seems redundant that we have to pay private companies to do the same.

That was my response on Facebook a while back to someone talking about backing up personal data - I just let the NSA get it and if lose something, I just file a FOIA request

Reminds me of rc's old dotcom morgue at wmw. Might need a revive?

> The NSA should open up free cloud services

I just assume they already have access to ones we use now.
