[R-SIG-Finance] Opentick Gone

[Cedrick Johnson]

In case anyone missed it...looks like opentick has finally shut their 
doors while I was on vacation the month of March. I wonder how similar 
the new offering will be to the previous API they had....

 From their website:

  To opentick subscribers, friends, supporters, contributors and the
  rest of the community...

It has been quite a journey for opentick, and for those of you who have 
been with us for the ride we cannot thank you enough for the support, 
contributions and guidance you have given us over the course of the last 
5 years. We could not have come as far as we have without you.

However, we are sad to say that the time has come for us to close the 
doors for opentick. However, this isn't goodbye. In fact, it's a new 
beginning. We will be introducing a fresh service with all the bells and 
whistles we've been slaving on over the course of the last year under a 
new name, a new website and a new level of service. Check back here in 
the near future for more information about the forthcoming new company 
and service. Of course amongst all these changes, there are some things 
that will remain the same - we still aim to provide a reliable free 
market data service, with an open architecture for a wide range of 
software platform support.

*If you are a current paying subscriber, this March billing cycle will 
be your final billing cycle; at your next billing date service will be 
terminated. If you are a delayed or historical data user not currently 
paying for service, your account will be deactivated as of Friday, March 
20th.*

Sincerely,
opentick Staff

/One day, we shall come back. Yes, we shall come back. Until then, there 
must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your 
beliefs, and prove to us we are not mistaken in ours./
