This shutdown of Ask Jeeves (ask.com) is pretty great. There's a reasonable shutdown page (better than most, imo), but that's not what's great.

ask.com is now hosted on github pages and you can see the commit history, with commits like "Remove text about search not being a strategic focus". That's not even the best part!

The best part is that they seem to have forgotten that they own askjeeves.com, so ask.com has the shutdown message but the service is still live on https://askjeeves.com.
