A tear falls from my eye

The Webmonkey is dead. They finally shut down the respirator.

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.

This is really sad. I learned so much from the wonderful, whacky, weird articles and how-tos over at Webmonkey.

On the plus side though: perhaps I now stop receiving those newsletter emails that I have tried unsubbing from several times...

Wired News: Webmonkey, RIP: 1996 – 2004
