Facebookとブログを連携する「RSS Graffiti」が終了してた
ニコニコ動画を紹介しているブログ「1日1ニコ」の更新情報をFacebookページ「1日1ニコ」に掲載していたのですが、その掲載に利用していたFacebookアプリ「RSS Graffiti」がいつのまにか終了していて、情報が更新されなくなってしまっていました。更新されないなーと気付いてはいたのですが、まさか終了してるとは。
簡単に言うと収益化を目指してたんだけど、課金してくれるユーザーを十分に確保出来ず収益化の目途が立たないのでサービスを終了することになったって感じですかね。仕方ないね。Important Notice – RSS Graffiti – ScribbleLive – Your Content Marketing Software
To the RSS Graffiti Community: We are proud of the product we have offered over the past few years, but despite our best efforts to build a business, we have failed to make RSS Graffiti into a viable enterprise. Here are the numbers: We currently power over 300,000 Facebook pages; Only about 500, or less than 0.25% of clients see enough value to pay for the service; The cost of powering this infrastructure is much higher than the revenues we are generating, and from the time the product was launched it has lost a considerable sum of money. Given the above, it has become clear that the product is not sustainable. As a result, we will be discontinuing the RSS Graffiti service effective April 30, 2015. As of May 1, 2015, RSS Graffiti will no longer be available on either a free, or paid, basis to power Facebook automation for you. Please ensure that you transition your account to an alternative service provider before April 30, 2015. Thank you for your support over the years. The RSS Graffiti Team
