Advogato to finish!

19061969 writes: Raph Levien, the founder and organiser of Advogato has decided to take the site offline for the free software community resource site and trust metric testbed. Having one of the first blog facilities and aggregators (the recentlog), the site also featured articles of varying quality from interviews with Donald Knuth, seeing the development of popular projects like Bittorrent, and lots of recent spam from China. Mr Leviens reasoning for the stop is that the site has "...filled its purpose of demonstrating the trust metric ideas, which was the original purpose of the site."
