The Great Software List is retiring
As of today, The Great Software List has been parked, as has the Great Books List. In one form or another I’ve managed the domain for almost 14 years and I can no longer justify hosting costs with what little interaction I have with the sites. Besides, my interest has waned and maintaining those sites, its subdomains — along with a blog and twitter — seem overkill.
Thanks to everyone who recommended software to me over the years. Moreover, thanks to the endless labors of love that programmers put into their programs year after year. You make everyone’s life a lot easier. But if I find great software, I’ll write about it here.
The Great Software List blog will continue thanks in large part to mouser’s generosity at DonationCoder.com. It has been renamed as “The Great Software Blog.” And you can see my sparse tweets under zaine_ridling there.
End of an era…
Thanks for all the great work you put into the sites. I remember that The Great Software List was one of the few really good trustworthy review sites a few years back. All things move on – like Zaine, I’ve got fed up with Windows and moved on to other platforms.
Thanks Steve, I appreciate you sharing that!
it will be sorely missed.. a beloved site for sure.
but on the other hand this surely means more of your attention will be able to be focused on other things.. and you have a magical touch for whatever you tackle, so i know this will lead to good things.
