Needlebase to be retired June 1, 2012

Written by Justin Boyan Wednesday, 18 January 2012 00:00

We've been hard at work planning how to best integrate Needlebase's technology with Google's portfolio, which includes structured-data initiatives like Fusion TablesGoogle Refine, Public Data Explorer, and Freebase. As we focus on our next steps, needlebase.com will be retired on June 1. To ensure our community of users has time to export any needed data, the service will remain fully operational until then.

We're looking forward to sharing future product developments as soon as we can. On behalf of the Needlebase team, thank you for all your feedback and support.
