The trouble with trying out every single new web application that becomes available (like I do) is that when the market suffers, most of them disappear.

Within the space of a couple of weeks last month I received a handful of emails informing me, dear user, that such and such service is closing (either for good or just until the big cheese that bought it decides what to do with it).

Fortunately, I seem to have stuck with services that are either stronger or more complete (or sometimes simpler, doing just one thing but doing it very well), and that are therefore doing OK. So I am sorry to see it go but I won't miss I Want Sandy because I use Remember The Milk. And I will survive very well without Stikkit thanks to Evernote. And Pownce has never been but a promising but unused sort of Twitter on steroids, whereas the original thing (with all its epic fail whales) is still among my favourites.
