The Soup Went Bad - Long live the new Soup!

Well that's was fun. I don't lament it at all - It didn't work right most of the itme - We lost a whole year - How can you not afford to keep it running? You even slowed it down with gobs of advertising...

I have two sites that I pay to run - Costs me $200 a year for each.. Whatever...

Well let's hope this works. They seem to be interested in having everyone swap over...That's cool.

Enjoy...

 

BTW, don't follow or friend me...I am not interested. K Thanx Bai

Soup.io will be discontinued :(

Dear soup.io fans and users,
 
today, we have to share very sad news. Soup.io will stop working in less than 10 days. :(
 
It's breaking our heart and we honestly tried whatever we could to keep the platform up and running. But the high costs and low revenue streams made it impossible to continue with it. We invested a lot of personal time and money to operate the platform, but when it's over, it's over.
 
We are really sorry. Soup.io is part of the internet history and online for one and a half decades.
 
Here are the hard facts:
- In 10 days the platform will stop working.
- Backup your data in this time
- We will not keep backups nor can we recover your data
 
July, 20th, 2020 is the due date.
 
Please, share your thoughts and feelings here.
 
Your Soup.io TEAM

Österreichisches Microblogging Portal Soup.io steht zum Verkauf

Die vom ehemaligen Piratenpartei Vorstand Christopher Clay gegründetete Website verzeichnet derzeit 2,6 Millionen Unique User und 3 Millionen Visits pro Monat (Quelle: Quantcast)

Wien (OTS) - 2017 wechselte Soup.io den Besitzer - damals übernahm der Hostingprovider easyname 100% der Anteile, als Soup.io wegen technischen Schwierigkeiten eingestellt werden sollte.

easyname Eigentümer Florian Schicker, der sich selbst als "Soup Poweruser" bezeichnet, hatte die Anteile aus "Liebe zum Portal" erworben und die Plattform technisch wieder stabilisiert. Nun sucht Schicker, dem nach eigenen Angaben selbst leider die Zeit fehlt um Soup weiterzuentwickeln, einen neuen Betreiber.

Das 2008 gegründete Microblogging Portal ermöglicht das Sammeln und Veröffentlichen von Web-Content und Multimediainhalten auf einer personalisierbaren Internetseite. Soup hat insgesamt einen Bilanzverlust von € 700.000,-, verzeichnet aber keine Schulden. Die monatlichen Betriebskosten belaufen sich derzeit auf ca. € 1.000,-. Read More »
