Web 2.0 Gone Bad: Wiki Host Stikipad Disappears

Submitted by kai on Wed, 2008-05-28 00:54. ::

Wiki host Stikipad has been offline for a couple of weeks as confirmed by mentalized.net.

I have a free personal wiki hosted there, and I haven't backed up my data! Now there's no way to get my data back.

Stikipad had a fine wiki hosting service that provides both free and premium wiki hosting service. I've seen some popular open source software toolkits hosted on Stikipad. That's why I signed up to use it at the first place.

No matter what has happened at Stikipad, there's not even a simple email notification from them. This isn't how Web 2.0 is supposed to be.

Again, nothing is really FREE.

Lesson learned! You should start backing up your data in any free service).
