Still hoping for a client that brings some of its best features back to life - better than it ever could have been.

Be a pal, Larry: open source it postmortem.

Yeah, that was a big deal a few weeks ago when they announced that Squarespace would be taking that over.

Google can’t even run a DNS service now?

Damn. Never met a product they didn't at least CONSIDER deprecating.

True story: I was friends with the founder of Foursquare back when he launched his original location social network Dodgeball in 2000 before smartphones existed. Google bought it in 2005, acqui-hired the guy, and then shut it down because they wanted to build something called Google Latitude, which of course, they later also killed.

FML with these guys.

Killing innovation when they claim to be supporting it.
