First there was mediamax, then they became the linkup? Why? Probably after a buyout, but it seems that neither the linkup or mediamax could get their act together. Now the site is closing indefinate. I recieved this email today:
“
MediaMax / The Linkup is closing
We regret to inform you that we will be closing The Linkup service on Friday, August 8 at 5:00 pm PDT.
Please login to your account and download any files that you wish to keep before Friday, August 8 at 5:00 pm PDT.
The Linkup is no longer accepting any uploads or new accounts, and no further charges will be made to your credit card. After August 8, your account will not be accessible, all your personal information will be deleted (username, billing information, history, etc), and your files will be deleted.
It was not possible to satisfactorily complete the move of files from MediaMax to The Linkup as we had expected, and as a result cannot offer a service that meets your expectations and our business requirements. This is a very disappointing outcome for us, and we know it has been a frustrating experience for many of our customers. We are very sorry that we have not been able to continue our service as we had envisioned.
Sincerely,
The Linkup Team”
This really is a pity since I spent so much time uploading all my pictures only to have them be taking down by the Linkup. They had a huge storage solution too, 25gbs for free. It must be even worse for those who paid for the service. What happened to reliable service?
