HelloTXT was a highly used social media aggregator that has now shut its doors. It follows right behind social media aggregator Ping.FM. We are pretty sure that PixelPipe will be the next one to close its doors as the abuse of its service is overwhelming. While this was a very quick and decisive decision it was probably the easiest way to dodge the online backlash from all the users. HelloTXT provided mobile applications as well as an online API that allowed many applications to connect to its service and submit their posts. Each and every aggregator has helped connect users to multiple social media sites but it seems the maintenance and upkeep outweighs the profit. Onlywire is still up and running but also leverages a payment structure which helps keep the management worth it.  They definitely didn’t follow our blog on How To Retire a Brand. Let us know what you think about HelloTXT closing their doors.

Hellotxt was your personal social networker…a Social Dashboard for your life online. The free service, accessible via web, WAP, and smartphone apps, was designed to help a user communicate easily with their contacts, whichever networks they are on, and in both inbound and outbound communication. The tool also makes it easy to engage and have more fun with the media you post to web 2.0 services. Hellotxt worked with the world’s most popular social networking and web 2.0 sites, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Posterous and WordPress. Hellotxt was launched in 2007 and has now finally closed their doors.
