20090714: Notice of the DEATH of BUBBLESHARE


All good things must come to an end!

My favourite photo sharing site is going down the drain in 3 months from today. They have served their quarter notice today!

The flash animations were the spiffiest and the storage was UNLIMITED.

For those who stil wanna see how they fared over the years, do check them out here. (while they are still around)

My 40 albums since May 2007, will still remain in there till it's deathbed.

However, they will be transported over and posted into my DotMac account soon. The Picasa album is great, but the 1 Gb space limitation isn't!

I guess all the other photo sites like Picasa, Flickr and Facebook have made world domination over the past 2 years.

The following transcript is their eulogy for their own site:

Dear Bubbleshare member –

As of November 15, 2009, Bubbleshare.com will no longer be available and all links to all albums and photos will cease to function (including existing links within emails, blogs, etc). To access your photos in the future you will need to download your photos prior to November 15, 2009.

To save your images to your desktop, simply click the "Download Album" link next to your albums and double click on original photos. Your photos will then be saved to your desktop.

Again, all photos and albums must be removed prior to November 15, 2009. Effective immediately, you will no longer be able to upload any new photos or albums.

We apologize for the inconvenience. It was our pleasure to assist you with your photo sharing needs.
Thank you.

Sincerely,
The
Bubbleshare Team
