RIP WebMonkey
It’s official. WebMonkey is dead.
After roughly eight years of being a valuable resource to many people, Terra Lycos is pulling the plug. It’s been a long time coming; like many other sites, it really started downhill at the beginning of 2000. The bust was rough on a lot of sites, and WebMonkey was hit hard. The unbelievable amount of page views and banner ads stopped flowing, staff was cut, and the site continued to limp forth, a shell of it’s previous glory.
While I can’t say that I personally used the resource more than once or twice, I know a lot of people who did. It was the poster child for getting up to speed with web technologies in the late 90s. So at long last, another dot-com child is killed off.
Rest In Peace, WebMonkey.
