While Wired.com has published an obit for Webmonkey, the Webmonkey site itself does not reflect the news. This is somewhat odd to me.
I expected Webmonkey to reflect news of the site’s new direction (no new items, maybe a promise to keep the archives available [with caveats] ). While this news may still be coming, why isn’t it there yet?
Wired and Webmonkey both have the same parent, TerraLycos – and this parent site still lists both properties. So it’s not like the Wired article (titled, mind you, “Webmonkey, RIP: 1996 – 2004”) got it wrong. It’s a sister site.
The TerraLycos site still shows Webmonkey as a property, with the following description:

That’s one of the problems with the Web – dead, non-updated links and text. This is just a case in point.
