Official word: BlogMailr is shutting down. Telligent wants paid for functionality

You may or may not have seen my Tweet about this last week, but BlogMailr simply disappeared from the face of the planet.  I guess the folks at Telligent decided to pull the plug early and not tell anyone – particularly those that were using the service for making blog posts to their Community Server (and other services) blogs.

So, whether or not last week’s “burp” was intentional or not, the next big burp of the BlogMailr service will be on purpose.

From an email from Telligent today…

As part of our on-going product lifecycle management process, we have decided to discontinue our BlogMailr product. We are giving you a five-week notice that blogmailr.com will be shut down at 5:00pm Central time on January 4, 2009.

We still believe in the simplicity of blogging via email. With the applications built on top of our new platform, Telligent Evolution, you can do just that. If you are not already using the Telligent Evolution platform but are interested in understanding how Telligent collaboration and community can help you, please visit us at telligent.com or contact us at sales@telligent.com.
