Not true. Our products will continue to exist for free, and we'll actually be working on improving ACOM's sharing capabilities - i.e., bringing out its great content from behind the pay wall so the wider family network can view and appreciate it.
You have a signed contract that says so? If not, you can't promise that since you don't have that authority.
Ancestry has a long history of acquiring sites where people join in community to work together on genealogy, and then destroying those sites, removing them from competition. They are evil. I have no problem with them charging for access to data they have paid to scan, convert and put together, that's a great service to offer. But that's only part of their operations. A big other part is the acquisition of publicly available free genealogy resources where the hard work has been put together for free by the general public, and eliminating those sites so that every imaginable genealogy related search only goes to their pay sites. Their usability also sucks. They are predators that destroy genealogy, and they are thieves. Enjoy your ill gotten wealth my friend, I hope it is worth the eternity in hell that anyone associated with this criminal organization has surely earned for their despicable acts. Or hey why not just down vote inconvenient facts about a dangerous bad corporation that causes great damage into oblivion, relax in the hot tub and drink another marguerita while chuckling.
We're working from the SF/SOMA office (pretty sweet), and continuing to work on the ShoeBox apps, our website, and related products as an independent team within the company. No .Net for us - Ruby, Javascript, Java, and Objective-C.
With our new digs and resources, we're looking for talented engineers (backend, frontend and mobile) and designers. Please email me at brett@1000memories.com if you're interested.
