I'm all for light-hearted snark, but this doesn't call for it. They were honest about their failure, promised to keep their service going for people that still value it and then graciously moved on.
Not really. That blog is about whitewashing failure and disregard for user data while this company seems to be upfront about it and doing the best they can for customers.
Since the service is still up and users' data is respected, I don't think it really applies.
Have a look at that tumblr - it's not the day of acquisition announcement that matters here...
What would you write in the same circumstances?
Idk but I would try to avoid using the words 'journey' and 'humbling' at all costs.
