Soup.io

Soup.io was an Austrian social networking and microblogging site.

History
Soup.io allowed the user to publish (editable in HTML) text, images, videos, links, quotes and reviews. It allowed users to share files (within the limit of 10 MB) and create events. Its interface followed the Keep it Simple, Stupid principle (KISS). By March 2015, Soup.io had accumulated a monthly user base of almost 3.8 million.

In January 2017, Soup.io suffered data loss, and had to be restored over several weeks from a 2015 backup.

On 10 July 2020, a shutdown warning was sent to all users with less than 10 days notice, citing "high costs and low revenue streams", with a shutdown date of 20 July 2020.
