Dear Visitor,

WhatTheTrend.com took over "What the Hashtag?" over a year ago to keep the service alive as the original owners were no longer able to. We funded the site and kept it going solely as a service to the users of the site.

For the past months, the site's traffic has overwhelmed the server it was running on, often causing downtime for hours. Additionally, and maybe most importantly, Twitter's recent changes to its Terms of Service (TOS) now prevent us from providing transcripts of conversations around a hashtag.

In light of these events, we've decided that it was no longer feasible to keep the site running. If you were a user of the free services we offered, we hope that you enjoyed them. If you are interested in the other services we offer, we encourage you to visit WhatTheTrend.com.

Sincerely,

The WhatTheTrend Team
