Pausing our Facebook app

by | Dec 13, 2008 | Loladex | 14 comments

A friend of Loladex called this hibernation, since it occurs in a wintertime both actual and metaphoric, but really I hope the right image is a chrysalis.

Either way, here’s the fact: Loladex is suspending operation of its Facebook application for several months while we work on a new approach.

If you’re a Loladex user, I apologize for the inconvenience. As things progress, we’ll keep you informed in two ways:

• Via this blog
• Via a direct message when we re-emerge

If you have comments or questions, please post them below. I’ll respond to everyone.

    very smart to live-work-create within cycles; and winter time, figuratively and literally, is a time to go in and deep to emerge fresh and new. best of everything to you.

    Thanks, Bob & Jessie. I am grateful for the support we’ve gotten from the community around here — including both of you.

    Good luck with the re-think. Let us know if we can assist in any way, by gathering data, etc that could assist.

    Thanks, Jeff. One of these days we’ll get that coffee …

    I was looking for a Facebook app like this that would pertain to my area in Northern CA. Sorry to see it’s not available. I would like to be notified when it becomes available, though. Thanks!

    What happened? Legal issues?

      Hi Rich — No, nothing legal. We didn’t have enough traction and we couldn’t keep trying indefinitely. Still working on ways to return, not found the right one yet.

    Ok – good luck. It must have been heartbreaking to go through all that.

      What does not destroy us, etc. :)
