Very sad at today's news from Blip. I've not been a regular poster, but have certainly been a regular check of other's blips, to the extent that people I have never met are household names now.

About a month ago, I was driving to work, and listening to the radio to a report, I believe about this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-31450389

And it did flick through my mind that Blipfoto was vulnerable. I've got my photos stored somewhere, but the loss of motivation/community/learning/encouragement would be very sad indeed. For a social-media cynic and total luddite I have been peculiarly attached to this site. What a genius concept it is!
