In a crowd of larger and better-supported social networking sites and an uncertain economic climate, eCirkit will be forced to shut down its social networking service by the end of this year.

The criteria for this prediction coming true are a public announcement from the company that it is no longer supporting the website or its features.

This prediction will close approximately one week before the judgement date, or when an announcement is made, whichever comes first.
