Ask.com’s MyStuff Is Shutting Down

This, is an email I received yesterday from The Ask.com Team telling us that MyStuff is shutting down:

Hello MyStuff Users,

As of June 1, 2010 Ask.com will be shutting down the MyStuff product, which allows you to bookmark pages and save photographs. While there are many loyal users of this particular site feature, we are making way for an exciting new service for our users designed to best help them get answers to questions. More on that new service in just a minute…

MyStuff will be available until June 1st, but we encourage you to export your bookmarks and download your photos before then if you would like to have them for future use.

Instructions for Exporting Bookmarks

To export your bookmarks, please log in to MyStuff (mystuff.ask.com). At the top of the page where you see the words “Saved Results” there are tabs for All, Web Pages, and Pictures. To the right of this is a link saying “Export Bookmarks.” Once you click this, your bookmarks will be available as an HTML file that you can export to a site like Del.i.cio.us (www.delicious.com), Stumble Upon (www.stumbleupon.com), or Twine (www.twine.com).
