Phind Is Shutting Down
Just got this message from phind, blogs seem to have been deleted.
Dear Phind User,
I've made the difficult decision to shut down Phind.
This Friday, January 16th, will be our last day of search operation. You will get a prorated refund on that date if you are a paid user.
You will be able to download your data until Friday, January 30th, after which it will be permanently deleted.
You can download your data from Phind 3 here: https://www.phind.com/history And download your data from Phind 2 here: https://old.phind.com/settings/download
I'd like to personally thank you for coming on this journey with me, it really means a lot.
Best,
Michael I missed this announcement, and I'm sad to see phind shut down. Michael, I don't know you, but I appreciate what you did. Whenever search engines shut down like this with no explanation, it reminds me of this article in 2600 magazine: https://archive.org/details/search-timeline why
