"The company's product managers and engineers were laid off, leaving only a handful of finance and operations workers — which speaks to a website to be left on life support."
Sounds like they'll try to milk it for whatever subscriber money they can get, but new development has ended. (I'm still wishing for the ability to search my own blog for particular text without having to resort to Google.)
If a for-profit company can't decide how to make bazillions profit out of a product, they shut it down. I don't understand that reasoning (small profit is better than no profit) but I've seen it all too often. Unless some new buyout plan emerges, I do expect them to shut down the servers.
