Catch.com is Closing Down

Disappointed but not too surprised. I've been using their service for free for I don't know how long. It's a crazy easy way to save off notes, pictures, bookmarks, to-do lists, and so on.

Their free level was just perfect for me. I think if they started asking people to pay rather than simply announcing their closing they might have been able to make a go of it. Faced with nothing or paying something, I'd consider the paying (though the devil's in the details).

What's funny is that whatever they use to track user sessions consistently fails for. I think it's the use of Flash storage which I routinely clear. So, I'm frequently required to sign back in almost every day.

Earlier today I was greeted with a landing page offering "Catch for Teams." Seems that's dead too.
