Skitch is Dead – Long Live Skitch!

Today I was using Skitch to add a simple screen grab to a web page that I was building, and when I tried to save it to the Skitch.com server, is told me that Skitch had transitioned to Evernote. In short - the server shutdown they had talked about was upon us.

Skitch was dead.

But I was ready. I had signed up with PinkHearted.com, and that gives me everything I need from Skitch's back-end. Even if that weren't enough, I have a CloudApp account, and can use that as well.

So Skitch is alive and well. Just not with the guys that brought it to life.

It's sad to see something like this, but the market works in sometimes sad and gloomy ways. I'm just hoping that someone picks up the mantle of the original Skitch team, and makes a worthy successor. With a reliable back-end.
