But, why? Suddenly, without any confirmation and rumour?

Exactly, loved the service a lot. Used it +10 times a day. Had their blog in my RSS reader.

I got this email, and instantaneously the iphone app and web app stopped working. Rude and strange way of dealing with users... Never received an email or survey invitation whether I'd like to pay for the service or anything.

So I assume what was being commented in this thread became reality: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2989256

Probably because they are getting acqui-hired by Facebook (just posted to TechCrunch a few minutes ago.)

Their product is sandwiched between instapaper, readability, and evernote. Evernote premium is only $45/year which is a tough price ceiling for a service which seemed to do much less.
