Note the above mentioned website no longer works I removed it - I think it may be hacked, not sure what happened to it :(
Strange that their site is down. Looks to me like they have been acquired and are shuttering as a result.
old story from 2008 - site hasn't been updated since 2010. URL go weird places, company seems to have fixed it or is out of business. down vote.
Thanks!Sadly no, it shutdown in 2017. If you try to login, it doesn't actually go anywhere.Best I can tell the domain was picked up by some SEO scam. I'm guessing the way it works is they republish all the old content to keep the domain's reputation and then added a bunch of links to their sites to try to boost those site's reputation.
Is the service discontinued? The site itself is just background image now.
The site is dead unfortinately.
Welp, the site no longer works. Let's hope they didn't shut down the project already, Google Wave style.
Supposedly the app/site went AWOL more or less a few years? and then got resurrected.
Did they wipe out the entire old site? The link isn't working anymore and everything looks different.
A bit worrying that now.sh took the link down without even adding a notice on the page
