Tomorrow, Smartgroups.com gets the plug pulled. Finished. Decommissioned. Dead.
"Why do you tell us this, what do we care?", you all ask.
(edit : you don't care at all, of course, but this is why I care.)
Well, my first real .com experience was as part of the small team building that site in late '99, which was eventually sold to Freeserve, when I exited. Plenty of the early development of RHP was done during that crazy dot com era of my life.
So, I just wanted to make this post as my entry in the smartgroups.com obituary, because without it, this site never would have existed, and who knows where I would be now.
Special mention to this guy too, I don't know him, he was after my time, but I enjoyed his Blog post :
