Dear mixin user,
Just letting you know that mixin will close on the 18th of February. We’d like to thank you for your support since we launched the product in 2008.
Why?
To be very transparent, although the product received a warm welcome when we launched, we’ve found it hard to generate sufficient revenue to operate the business.
We know you really liked our many features. We also got a lot of interest in our offer for professionals, but even with this we have to step down.
What’s next for mixin?
mixin is for sale, the complete django-facebook-twitter platform with all brands and domains (mixin.com, mix.in). If you have any idea who could be interested or are interested yourself, please send us an email to mixinisforsale@gmail.com
What’s next for you?
Don’t worry, we will delete all agendas when we shut down the service. In between if you want to extract your current events, go to your agenda and click on “subscribe to your feeds” to view all export options. If you like the idea of social agenda and want to continue using a good one, we invite you to use the great Plancast from our friend Mark.
All the best for 2011,
The mixin team

Thanks for the notice. I know it’s not an easy situation, but it would be a great service to the community if you could say a little more about why the product didn’t generate sufficient revenue. In hindsight, would you have designed the product differently? Or invest in more marketing? Or something else? This might also help anyone considering purchasing mixin.
