Two years after Briefly closed, its closure notice still gives readers more information than its final seven-word customer summary.
The summarisation service shut on 31 December 2032. Customers had the following year to export their records before Public Memory took over long-term storage.
The archived notice gives the closure date in full. It cannot renew a subscription. Its links lead to complete records and longer readings.
xlsonic, which turns summaries into lengthy prose, said former Briefly readers sometimes asked it to restore the parts removed for their convenience.
