On July 3rd, picplz will be no more |
Yes, picplz was one of the first photo sharing apps but just could not compete with Instagram once the latter started gaining traction amongst iOS users. And if there was any doubt about which service had become a household name, it was Instagram that was recently purchased by Facebook for the princely sum of $1 billion. Now that one of its competitors is shutting down, basic economics would tell you that the value of Facebook's acquisition will increase on July 4th as America's birthday is celebrated with something as quintessentially American as shutting down your competition. We recently listed picplz as one of the top five Instagram alternatives for iOS and Android. Obviously you can scratch the name off of your options.
"On July 3, 2012, picplz will shut down permanently and all photos and data will be deleted. Until then, you can log in and download your photos by clicking on
the download link next to each photo in your photo feed. Thank you for
your support of picplz and we apologize for any inconvenience this may
cause you."

Maybe I'm being ignorant, but I have never heard of this before.

I have, but it wasn't really worth downloading. And with them closing their service, it just shows it.
