It’s a shame! It was actually a good news source with a curated feed not run by Google!

• Artifact app to be shut down, citing a small market opportunity and the need to focus on newer projects.

• App’s complexity and operations will be slimmed down, with the removal of the ability to add new comments and posts.

• Existing posts will remain visible, and core news reading capabilities will continue until the end of February.

Am I the only person in the comments that didn’t like Artifact? It was basically Digg v4. It was full of sponsored content and blog spam; and user’s couldn’t submit content.

It was everything people revolved about on other news aggregator platforms.
