At one time you had two choice in social bookmarking within Flock, Shadows and Del.icio.us. Now, you can scratch Shadows off that short list. Yesterday Flock axed Shadows due to the fact that Pluck, the owners of Shadows, are choosing to give it no further attention.
This looks to go beyond a simple partnership expiring - Pluck has been phasing out consumer facing products for some time (they announced their RSS reader will be shut down in January 2007) in favor of its new Blogburst publishing platform. In an email exchange this evening, Pluck CEO Dave Panos told me that Blogburst is “getting 100% of our attention” and “we haven’t added any new capabilities [for Shadows] since this Spring.”
It's sad to see a promising service get looked over for BlogBurst. Blech.
