If You Remember Using HotBot...
CNET's UK site put together a memory-jarring collection of famously defunct Web sites from the dot-com boom, with images of what those sites looked like back in the day. HotBot! Jennicam!
Interestingly, some of the sites' URLs are still alive. At Webvan.com, you get a generic site linking to other grocery shopping sites. At HotBot.com, you get a search box allowing you to search using other engines, like Yahoo or MSN. Jennicam is a dead link.
Hey, where's Flooz on this list?
And, amazingly, Lycos is still around!
Makes you wonder which of today's sites will be dead and gone and thought of with nostalgia a decade from now. Any suggestions?
