While not exactly something I’d advise for your critical web apps, I’m still intrigued to see this in action…

zimki dies
Got a web app that relies on a 3rd party service? Well, I hope you selected that service well! A year or so ago I was evaluating Zimki and nearly selected it to provide a platform for some web app development at work. I’m rather glad I didn’t now…
Please note that this is your final notification of the withdrawal of the Zimki service, which will occur on the 24/12/2007.
All user applications and data remaining on the Zimki service will be deleted and the servers decommissioned shortly after this date.
It certainly highlights the importance of building your fancy-pants web 2.0 application on solid and reputable services.
