damn! now what I'm I supposed to do now with all of my cooking recipes? Seriously, I think I will go back to the old school word document for storing stuff, you can't trust services like this to last. Does anyone have a recommendation of a paid alternative that won't close?

can you elaborate? what is in there with this domain name for salesforce?

#15It seemed this thing was headed for acquisition from the start.
I'm done using these sorts of services. If it doesn't run within my Emacs / Vim / Unix workflow then I won't bother, or I will build it myself.

#16If SalesForce has some "forces" in it, they shall simply let a small team of 1 or 2 people to just maintain it.
Or at least, opensource it.

#17Earlier quoted context omitted.
How about that it's already built?
They're shutting it down, and AFAIK storage of information parsed from web pages isn't particularly proprietary.

#20I consulted for Clipboard very early on. Gary Flake is a really smart, talented and drive engineer. I'm glad he got a chance to see this through. Sorry it didn't gain the kind of traction I'm sure the team was looking for. I hope some of their tech can be worked into the salesforce stack and will continue to live.
