It took a while for it to happen and many of us saw the writing on the wall for months but when writingup finally went down and looked like it would never be back, I was sad.
Writingup was a hosted blog service where you earn 50/50 adsense earnings with the host. I got my blogging start there and met some wonderful people that helped me find work as a freelance writer. The community at writingup was a phenomenal place and most people didn't make the oodles of adsense dollars they were expecting but they kept coming back to share a laugh, have some healthy debate and just hang out together in our little cyber community.
It appears that it's trying to relaunch although my hundreds of posts and my painstaking clickable index is gone...probably forever.
Communati.com was born out of the end of Writingup and so far it's shaping up to be a good substitute. A lot of famiilar usernames appear on the 'who's online' and the admin seems to care about what the community wants long-term instead of expecting to make a fast buck and not building or supporting the writers that will help the site be successful.
I hope some of our other long WU'ers find this post and click over to Communati and that it works out to be all that we're hoping for. And, if you weren't on Writingup but think you'd like a great community blogspace, c'mon over!
Cheers,
Dana
