Ghost Sites
From Scott-living-Down-Under comes this
article about Ghost Sites,
web sites that are still running long after its creators have abandoned them.
I watched the Ghost
Sites Movie. Yes, I have nothing better to do. I swear I saw Fandango
flash by. Given that every movie in L.A. is preceded by a Fandango commercial,
wouldn't it be great if those commercials were paid for before Fandango
went bust, and therefore are "Ghost Commercials"?
I'm not saying Fandango isn't perhaps reincarnated after receiving further
funding. I just like the idea of life after death for these companies because
of pre-paid web-hosting and commercial slots. These companies gather a certain
momentum during operation that is able to keep them in our collective
consciousness long after the last employee has left.
The web as life? Do you sense the religious overtones? Daily
Radar, you will always be remembered...
