Luckily Google released a tool to download your content from it called [[Google Takeout]]: {{url|https://www.google.com/takeout/}} Besides Buzz, Google shut down many of its other minor services, such as Aardvark, Sidewiki, and others: {{url|http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/fall-spring-clean.html}}
 
* August/September: '''[[Google Labs]]''' closed. <ref>{{url|1=http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2388881,00.asp#fbid=7kZ39-1XQUH}}</ref> and many great/experimental one of a kind tools vanished. Among many others "google sets" that had been around since a long time, "City Tours" some includeing user generated content and the exciting "google squared" <ref>{{url|http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZaGO7GjCqAI/SibWbewOy5I/AAAAAAAAQBM/8lb7UA6AWPY/s640/google-squared-species.png}}</ref> that was an approach to pass more artificial intelligence to the user than conventional searchengines (compareable to wolframalpha) but seemingly based on a bigger/vast pool of data just like standard google searchresults). Since there is hardly any obvious rationale(?) for closeing down "Google Labs" it pictures google as being either less supportive or even hostile to new inoventions and less responsible with usergenerated content or more secretive about their ongoing projects than one might thought before or than Google might was before indeed. 1 Jan 2011  [[User:Whatsgoingonwithgoogle|Whatsgoingonwithgoogle]] 18:06, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

(The replacement OhInternet is a very strongly sanitized Version of ED.) <s>ED is claiming that they are in danger of shutting down.

The only way you'd know all that is if you receive a warning e-mail from MindTouch. They offer to keep your site running by "upgrading to our paid Cloud version by {{url|1=http://campaigns.mindtouch.com/Wik.isDecomissioningMigrationInterest.html|2=filling out this short form.}}"

* December: '''{{url|1=http://machinima.com|2=Machinima.com}}''' was reworked in December 2010, and by "reworked" we mean massacred. Most notably, the forums were deleted, as well as tons of older articles.
* November: '''{{url|1=http://www.brightfuse.net|2=BrightFuse}}''' was a small social network started as a side venture by CareerBuilder.com in August 2009.  It was quietly shutdown November 2010 without much fanfare.  At its height it has 100k users.

===2009===
 
* December 6: '''favrd''', a website that aggregated favorite tweets from twitter, abruptly shut down on December 6, 2009 with absolutely no warning, killing off thousands of highlighted entries added by group-consensus over significant months. As a reward for their efforts, founder Dean Allen wrote this helpful message: ''"Alas, stars on Twitter have become mere take-out menus hung on the doors of other restaurants. There are still lots of clever and funny things to read every day, but finding these is no longer a challenge â you already follow your sources. Sites like this one now serve mainly as fuel for emotional up-fuckedness in the guise of a game. Just an idea: next time you see something you like, write the person who made it a note telling them so. Even better, explain why. Take care!"'' Advice to people who want to work with Dean Allen's projects in the future: don't.
* November: '''here.is''' seems to permanently off-line. It ceased to re-direct email for some time ago and as per 11-23-09 it doesn't redirect even URLs any longer.

* August 30ish: '''ArchNacho's & TortillaGodzilla's Quality ROMs''', a site that hosted ROMs for NES, SNES, and Genesis games, which has announced its effective death back in January 2006, is now finally completely inaccessible, both on its original domain {{url|http://www.qualityroms.com}}, and on the site that the domain masked {{url|http://home.no.net/qualrom/}}.  The Wayback Machine contains a mirror of the site up through August 30, 2007, which is after all updates to the site ceased.  All ROMs hosted on QualityRoms are included in the mirror and can be downloaded from there.

* June 15: '''{{url|1=http://www.jumpcut.com|2=Jumpcut.com}}''' became the latest example of Yahoo!'s awesome respect for history and data, announcing the closure of the video hosting and editing site, for June 15, 2009.

Surprise!

After community pressure, Google has decided to {{url|1=http://etherpad.com/ep/blog/posts/etherpad-back-online-until-open-sourced|2=open source the Etherpad codebase}}, keeping the service alive until then. The site closed down shortly after. Fortunately there are now are [http://www.google.com/search?q=etherpad+alternatives numerous] [http://www.google.com/search?q=etherpad+clone alternatives].
* March 30: '''[[Yahoo_Briefcase|Yahoo Briefcase]]''', a positively ancient site run by Yahoo that provided you with 25 free megabytes of storage space for your junk, sent a mail to what were likely years-old contact addresses to tell them they had a little more than a month to get their files out, March 30, 2009. After that, the files would be deleted. What, Yahoo doesn't have a spare memory stick to store what must be the amount of files in this service for the next year?
* March 25: '''Yahoo! Farechase''', an airline fare aggregation and searching site, was shut down on March 25, 2009. It had previously been its own company, founded in 1999, and purchased by Yahoo! in 2004. <ref>{{url|http://news.cnet.com/Yahoo-buys-travel-company/2100-1032_3-5300561.html}}</ref>

* March 11: '''{{url|1=http://www.videosift.com|2=Videosift}}''' had a combination database and backup failure, losing: "All votes, ever. All member usernames who registered later than around 12 months ago. All member rankings. Your member profile info (e.g., bio, favorite sift, etc.), if any. All activity that happened on the site yesterday, March 11." This is unlikely to kill the site, but an awful lot of data was lost.
* March 6: '''{{url|1=http://www.scoopt.com/|2=Scoopt}}''', a "citizen journalism" site run by Getty images to allow the uploading of images by citizen journalists and the chance to be licensed to news organizations, announced they would no longer take any new imagery after February 6, 2009, and will shut down completely on March 6, 2009. Some content uploaders "may" be contacted about being absorbed into the main Getty site.

The free music it offered does not seem to have been transferred, however (the band Ancient Teknologi had several tracks available on music.download.com, but only one available on Last.fm). As of 28 February, it claimed to have 111.052 MP3s.

With a 150-year history, there's a lot of backstory, and how this chronicler of history will end up, so too will many others. There is an excellent documentary about the last days of the Rocky Mountain News {{url|http://www.vimeo.com/3390739|here}}.
* February 23: '''Windows Live''' shut down the '''MSN Groups''' on February 23. They extended their original date from February 21st to give Group owners the weekend to prepare. <ref>{{url|1=http://windowslivewire.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!2F7EB29B42641D59!34861.entry?sa=503427140}}</ref>

From the message on the main site: ''"As I evaluate recovery options, I can't provide a certain timeline or prognosis as to to when or to what degree Ma.gnolia or your bookmarks will return; only that this process will take days, not hours."'' Ma.gnolia had an excellent export feature... hope you used it and did the backups they didn't!

Latest revision as of 10:14, 25 October 2025

The Deathwatch or Watchlist is a central indicator of websites and networks that are shutting down and serves as an indicator of what happened to particular sites that shut down quickly.

New sites should be added in chronological order, newest death date first. Forward-looking death dates should be added to the first list only. Sites large enough to warrant additional information will receive a dedicated page, linked from here and on Category:Closing projects.

A list of sites which warrant pre-emptive monitoring (either for their cultural significance or because they appear to be endangered) can be found at Fire Drill. Some general brainstorming is at Deathwatch/Misc.

Pining for the Fjords (Dying)

Websites (notable or with user-generated content) that are definitively shutting down. No speculation please! Sites that appear troubled should go on Fire Drill.

  • December 31: The Samsung Tizen App Store for phones has been shut down.[390]

THAT is the sole factor determining the time frame for keeping the site going as it stands today. When I have completed scanning those, and that is all I will be scanning until completion, I will review where we are at regarding membership, whether our files continue to get uploaded to other sites etc and depending on those and how I feel personally a decision will be made then around the continued existence of OGM." http://www.oldgamemags.com/index.php/forum/latest-news/109-pc-gamer-uk-disc-editions?start=40#1103[IA•Wcite•.today•MemWeb]
