Liang Rindu Merah Jambu

sembilan bulan sudah...
waktu itu kau gilas
dengan ayun lembutmu
tinggalkan sekilas membekas,
bersama jejak berukir senyum,
kupandang,tak lagi indah, memang

sesaat...
di awal bulan berwana merah jambu..,
apa sebab, ku sempat melirik rupamu,
melayang di ruang langit tak berpintu..
musabab, aku tidak merindui mu
sadarku, tetes nafsu tak lagi padamu...
tapi, apakah aku meragu...

biarkan....
mengalir kata yang tak berujung tak bermuara
menelusuri liang rindu
dimana rasa berpusara...

ShoutMix's - Free Service Has To Stop

Ternyata fasilitas gratisan dari "ShoutMix" sudah tutup. berikut surat dari ShoutMix:


Thanks for using ShoutMix for all these year. I have been providing free shoutboxes on the World Wide Web for over 7 years now. It wasn't long before I realized being 100% free is not sustainable. Just before ShoutMix's first birthday, it almost had to be closed.

ShoutMix has tried to work with the freemium business model ever since. Conversion rates were low with the first version. With the second version, things improved and I have had more paying customers. Fortunately people liked the service and started paying for more features.

With that in mind, the new third version was developed to make things better for free and paid users alike. It was developed with lots of feedback from users over the course of several years. Meanwhile my biggest goal remained: to improve conversion rate to keep things sustainable and profitable, all while making ShoutMix a really high quality product for everyone.

One of the most mentioned feedback was that the old free version was too restrictive. Others are less trivial, just make it better, more premium features, more powerful stuff, avatar support, real time push update, really good spam protection, support for really high traffic situations, etc.

Finally, in November 2011, the new version 3 was completed. It was launched successfully and very smoothly. It was a great moment.
