There are some things you don’t expect to happen. You don’t expect to ever win the lottery, or expect Steve Jobs to ever not be the CEO of Apple. You don’t expect the Zune to ever be a success, not Steve Balmer to ever talk sense. But every once in a way events occur, that take everyone by surprise. I am sad to report, that Techspansion has shut down for good.
…After much soul-searching (it’s not you, it’s me), for personal reasons, Techspansion is closing its virtual doors. The Support Forum and Support E-mail will be available for a while longer to take care of any remaining issues for you.
Techspansion brought into this world the splendid Visualhub, iSquint and more recently, Audialhub. Visualhub, for those of you who are new to this game, is (was?) arguably the best video converter on the Mac, and hence, on the planet. With presets for just about anything, converting video didn’t require a PhD to operate. Audialhub followed the same principal, only for audio. I am an extensive user of both these apps, and finding out that they won’t progress further has left a void in me.
Alas, things happen, and we have to move on. This may trigger some new talent into making an even better app. For those who have already purchased Visualhub, keep it safe, at least until a suitable alternative presents itself.
Did you use Visualhub for your video conversion needs? With no certain future for this app, are you prepared to move on to something else, or just cling on to what’s left of it?
