Shutdownify is Shutting Down

Shutdownify, the world's first "Shutdown Notice as a Service" company, is no more. Although an ever increasing number of failed startups need to post shutdown messages, it turns out they don't usually have the money to pay others to do it for them. "It is a stinging irony that we now must use our own product to post this shutdown notice. Shutdownify's last meal is its own dog food."

    On the other hand, their operating costs must be pretty damn low. That is, unless the whole thing was a money-laundering scheme designed to fail from the start.
