Move On When Your Fave Digital Services Close Up Shop

- Ayie Licsi

HERE’S A MYTH MOST PEOPLE believe in: things on the internet stay forever. The reality is far from it. Left and right we hear of websites and apps shutting down. The internet has already bid farewell to Vine, Google Reader, Friendster, Multiply, and more.

Even the biggest names on the internet have shut down some of their services. For instance, Apple had to let go of Ping, its music based social network. Facebook and Google also have their fair share of failed services. Long story short, any digital service is in danger of shutting down out of the blue.
