Microsoft is shutting down its Soapbox video service that no one knew existed: Soapbox allowed users to upload videos, which appeared on MSN Video, a service that will remain, but which doesn't (seemingly) allow amateur/personal contributions.
Soapbox will stop allowing uploads on 29-July, and shut down entirely on 31-August.
CompuServe Classic finally succumbs: CompuServe was one of the very earliest commercial dial-up bulletin board systems, well known for its "CB radio" chat program, which worked much like IRC. I was a CompuServe user back in 1979, with a 9 digit (70000,0000 format) ID. Exciting, heady days when one stuck a phone handset into an acoustic coupled 110-baud modem connected to your character-based 1 MHz computer.
IF you were still a classic user, you can convert your email over.
