dukudu closes down
dukudu, the microblogging platform of Allesklar.com AG (operators of meinestadt.de, among other sites) was recently shut down without much of a stir.

In June 2007, Allesklar.com bought dukudu via an eBay auction for approximately Euro 43,000 and went ‘live’ some months later under their auspices (see our report). The notable aspect of the service at its launch was its local flavor. Users could save various places in their profiles, and display their (then) current location via GeoLocator in a map.
