OnePage Stops Free Portal Service...

[Morbus Iff <morbus@disobey.com>]

As detailed in my AmphetaDesk history [1], OnePage.com was one of my
favorite and most recently used portals. Although not strictly related to
RSS, it allowed *any* site to be snipped and placed in a collective window
- it was much better than octopus.com because it was lowtech - no flashy
Java or Shockwave things driving me nuts.

Before Radio Userland [2] and AmphetaDesk [3] came along, I used OnePage
daily - catching up on about 80 sites sucked down into 9 pages or so. Some
of these sites still don't have RSS feeds, making Onepage still a nice
place to visit so often.

Sadly enough, it's The End of Free [4]:

  >Given our success down this path, we have increasingly been forced to
  >modify our service to address the needs of corporations looking for a
  >integrated portal solution.   Going forward we see this trend continuing
  >have therefore come to the difficult decision to end access to the free
  >consumer site you have been using.
  >
  >***  The free consumer portal site that you are familiar with
  >will no longer be supported as of October 15, 2001.  ***
  (from a customer mailing just sent out).
