Wer, wie ich, sein gedachtes Einkaufsnetz gern in Richtung Free Tools haelt, stellt hin und wieder ein erschwertes Aufbringen von Symphatie derer gegenueber fest, da der Service den Platzhirschen weichen muss.

Zum Beispiel ist eine Vielzahl von Bildmaterial in meinem kleinen Chindogu nicht mehr ersichtlich, da selbiges letztlich auf kosten freien Webdiensten gehostet war.

So geschehen auch mit der Plattform Ringo, welche mich via eMail Benachrichtigung mit folgendem Textlaut benachrichtigte.

Dear Ringo member,

After much consideration we have decided to end the Ringo service.
As of June 30, 2008 the Ringo service is ending and you will no longer have access to your Ringo account.
How do I get my photos?
We created a new feature that will allow you to download your photos to your computer.

You may also order a CD of your photos. Just sign in to your Ringo account, click on the "You" tab, click" Order prints" and then "Photo Disks".
How do I get my videos?
Videos uploaded to Ringo were hosted for us by a partner. This partner has decided to end this service and after June 30 videos uploaded to Ringo will no longer be available.
Thank you for being part of the Ringo community.

The Ringo Team
