On Friday 1st of February 2013, Amplicate will be wrapping up operations.
We are sad to have to shut down the service but despite some healthy stats: 900k page views and around 300k unique visits a month, we couldn’t find a model to pay the bills long term and at the same time keep the service free for our users.
In 2009 we set out to build a platform to help people make their voice heard, with the idea of not only improving products and services, but allowing people’s expression on any topic (around 2 million topics currently).
We believe we achieved our goal: we have not only around 400 million opinions from 63 million of people who left their public opinions on Amplicate, Twitter and Facebook; but also became a reference point for users, bloggers, journalists and anyone interested in public opinions.
We thank all our users, the people who believed in us and everyone who has supported us along the way.
Please feel free to contact Juan at juan@amplicate.com, if you have any comments about this, or just want to say hello.
Update: We’ll update this space soon with the exact date/time.
