The Tale Of Storytlr Ends Here

Storytlr , a nifty web application centered around the concept of lifestreaming, will cease to exist at the end of this year. In a blog post , the two guys who built the service jointly announced the decision to stop operating Storytlr on December 31st 2009. Unfortunately, all data that doesn't get backed up by its users in the next ten weeks will be wiped out, although there is a simple tool that allows for easy export of all data and soon users will also be able to download a zip archive of their binary files (images etc.). As to the why of the voluntarily deadpooling of Storytlr, co-developers Laurent Eschenauer and Alard Weisscher are not at all vague: they simply lost interest after deciding that the project could not be turned into a full-fledged company, and unsuccessfully finding alternatives routes or potential partners. And most importantly, lack of time.
