I would rather see that from a blog post than someone trying to look like a fortune 500 when it's just a guy and a site.

Not surprised at all. One could argue it was the API that attracted so many people to Twitter in the first place. It seemed really smart to me at first to create such a great ecosystem, but maybe there's more behind that scenes that I don't know about?

Either way it's sad to see this service go. The guy seems nice and provided a good service, but clearly he's not going to spend a bunch of his own time and money if it's not rewarding anymore.

I'm sure it would be but I think it would teach folks about Samba and mounting drives, it just scratches the surface of Samba but might get someone interested in building a real server with it.

Here we go with that argument again.

The point of all these people doing "Raspberry Pi" articles with basic Linux stuff is to teach people who just bought a Pi and don't know how to use it. The overall point of this device is education.

Except that there are no ads on that site and this guy has done a lot to help the RPi community lately.

Is this real? If so I'm surprised he got that much interaction from him

This is something that's always in the back of mind.

Yes the Kindle is awesome, but how hard is it for a bookstore to come to your house and repossess a book?
