Goodbye Webmonkey
Posted on Tuesday, February 17, 2004 in the Design category.
Last week, WebMonkey announced that it would be shutting its doors following a round of layoffs in its parent company Terra Lycos. This is a sad day for me. I remember spending nights on end years ago, just reading through the articles on Webmonkey, trying my hardest to learn HTML, Javascript, and Photoshop.
Dont get me wrong, I havent seen a lot of new and inspiring content from Webmonkey, but I hope that the archives will be left up to inspire newcomers to the field. Goodbye Webmonkey :(
From the Wired.com article:
Launched in August 1996 as part of a fast-growing collection of websites funded by the original owners of Wired magazine, Webmonkey instantly became the surprise hit. Most of Wired’s sites offered the breathless cyber optimism and punditry the magazine was known for. As it turned out, online readers didn’t care for it. What they really wanted was: How do you build that Java-powered interface to your site?
