It is time now to abandon ship My Opera! 😮
I wouldn’t say I am surprised with the decision of closing down My Opera. But it is the sad conclusion after more than a year of Opera’s bad decisions, starting with Jon S. von Tetzchner leaving, the Unite, M2, and Presto fiasco, etc… 😡
One thing, after many years of using Opera, (since version 3, and starting with 5 as a default browser) I no longer use it. I uninstalled everything Opera and moved to SeaMonkey for good. 😈 In a way I went back to my previous browser Netscape.
As for this blog, I might move to WordPress or another blog hosting. I don’t know yet. It’s just a silly little Batman blog. 😉

Important announcement about your My Opera account
I think it was all for the best. Opera has been on the ropes for a long time. Closing my-opera was expected. 😦

True, but My Opera was what made Opera’s community great. They are letting the community go when they should have salvaged by selling, or letting some one else handle My Opera. 😦
Profit over quality is what Opera is doing now. They are really going for the easy hip type of user. 😡

It’s astonishing how many times that sort of thing happens when a company goes public. They abandon the very things that helped them get to the point where they could start floating shares in favour of some nebulous new plan to keep the shareholders happy.

They are just imploding that’s all. You could see spam in some of their blogs. 😐
Many people there still haven’t found where to go, and some think Opera will change their minds about closing My Opera. 🙄
