Kind of a bummer for me, too. Gist was my favorite listing service. I thought it was easiest to customize & update. I liked the daily emails of my preferred channels, too.

But, I guess they have to make a buck from users now that online ad revenue is in the crapper.

I still have my customized listings on my personal "My eXite" page & I'm trying the beta custimizationsat TitanTV.

I use the listings from Yahoo more than any other. You get email reminders & can customize it easily. Best of all, it is never down when I try to access it. Zap2It NEVER works well for me. GIST is one of my favorites also, but I will not pay extra for the service.
