Webmonkey closes down







Webmonkey closes down

Webmonkey closes down 02/17/2004 11:47 AM

This may be the year of the monkey, but sadly it is not the year of the Webmonkey. I'm gonna miss it. I learned some of my very first lessons about building websites from that website, and I still have various sections bookmarked for handy reference. BoingBoing reader Philip says:

Webmonkey is closing down! They finally pulled the plug. "Webmonkey, the site that turned humble Web developers into attention-grabbing authors, said last week it is closing down following a round of layoffs in the U.S. division of its parent company, Terra Lycos (also the parent company of Wired News). Judging by blog posts and e-mails, the site's fans aren't surprised. Still, they're sad to see the end of an era."

Webmonkey, RIP: 1996 – 2004: WebMonkey is where I learned everything I told the interviewer I knew in the three weeks between the job interview and my first day. My first relational database design came from a tutorial on this site.

Dave Winer has closed up what may be several thousand weblogs hosted at weblogs.com, a pioneer weblogging service. Dave has announced he'll package up the shuttered sites in importable form, if owners ask him before July 1. Dave's audio blog post explains why he had to do this and had to do it without warning anyone. People in the comments are being appropriately appreciative for the years of service Dave gave them, but, wow, it's a shock. We could use a page that lists the new homes for the old sites as they are rebuilt.......
