How Google killed Urchin


Just trying to do my bit in a movement here :)

Long story short, Google bought [[http://urchin.com|Urchin]] sometime back, and have not been responding to [[http://textdrive.com|Textdrive]]’s constant requests to //take their money// and renew their data-center license. You can find all the juicy details (courtesy Simplicio) at [[http://simplicio.com/|How Google killed Urchin]].

Please blog about this aggresively, bookmark it to del.icio.us — how can Google //not// notice this? Sheesh!

Meanwhile, Textdrivers have decided to take things into their own hands. Please help us all by filling out [[http://projects.shtuff.us/anemone/survey/|this survey]]. If you have a //lot// of time, check out [[http://forum.textdrive.com/viewtopic.php?id=5843|these]] [[http://forum.textdrive.com/viewtopic.php?id=5932|threads]]

TxD is //so// cool :)
