Services like “Stickit” and “I want Sandy”, which is used by many people, is closing their service by the 8th of December 2008. This is due to the fact that the owner has been hired for a position at Twitter (who also has acquired the products technology)
This leaves the customers/users hanging high and dry, because there are not that many services out there to replace the service and you will also have to spend quite some time converting your information into a new format, which is terrible, since the service were are made to enhance your productivity.
There have also been an outrage from the community, not so much that the service is closing, but the 14 days of notice (I do not hope anybody of their users are on vacation right now)
Here are some comment:

I’m so glad that we were all able to contribute so much value to you so that you could be acquired, and shut down that which we contributed so much value. Thanks for nothing.

2 weeks notice? Are you kidding me? And, what, you’re relying on people to stumble across this notification on this one website, while the Sandy emails say nothing (and you’re still accepting sign-ups). Look, Sandy is/was a great service, but as someone who caries a “CEO” title, your customer relationship skills need some polish…
