The economic crisis has really affected everybody. And that includes the internet world. Just recently, Digital Railroad, a photo hosting company has shut down. It is quite sad and a cause of panic for a number of people. I just hope it doesn’t include you. What you will just see on the site of Digital Railroad is a letter for all the users and guests alike. Here’s what it says;
To our valued Members and Partners:
We deeply regret to inform you that Digital Railroad (DRR) has shut down. On October 15th we reported that the company had reduced its staff and was aggressively pursuing additional financing and/or a strategic partner. Unfortunately, those efforts were unsuccessful. Therefore Digital Railroad has been forced to close all operations. Digital Railroad has attracted a loyal set of customers and partners, and we regret this unfortunate outcome. Without sufficient long-term financial support, the business had become unsustainable.
Thank you for allowing us to serve the photographic community these past few years.
