f:id:flipnotehatena:20100205181131p:image

Hello, this is Aaron at Hatena in Kyoto, Japan with the final edition of the Flipnote Hatena Weekly News.

Flipnote Hatena is a unique and special community that has been part of the lives of many people around the world since 2008. Hatena produced the technology to make this service possible, but all of the people who posted Flipnotes, made friendships, and shared their creativity with the world here are truly the most important part of Flipnote Hatena. The magic that was Flipnote Hatena would have never happened without all of you!

We would like to take this moment to thank everyone in the Flipnote Hatena community for joining us on our animation adventure these past few years. We sincerely hope that the time we spent together on Flipnote Hatena can somehow help you in your future endeavors, and wish the best of luck to all of you.
