AstridYahoo has been snapping up companies left and right lately, and the revitalized company’s hunger means that some well-received apps and services have gone (or will soon go) offline. Earlier today, another company threw its name into that particular pile: task management service Astrid will officially go dark on August 5, just over three months after co-founder/CEO Jon Paris announced the acquisition on the team’s official blog.
