Frequent visitors of this blog probably have noticed that I have recently concentrated on improving the categorization of the links in this index. In stead of offering only one tag to each item, I've now taken the liberty to - wherever relevant - describe the contents of all these Web 2.0 cases with a number of labels. Thus, hopefully, offering better search & research possibilities. The results are shown in the "ALL CATEGORIES" navigation in the left margin of this page.
In the coming weeks I will resume publishing concise short title lists for each separate category, and I will present you a new subnavigation for them. The old lists will stay accessible through the INDEX 2.0 label in the left margin.
DEAD 2.0 - Nearly 200 Web 2.0 sites that didn't make it
Going through this chore, I've found almost a hundred links that died since the first time that I saw them. You will find them in the list below, together with the cases that I've reported on before. Some of these simply stopped their activities, or changed names, or rerout their traffic to other domains. Others were acquired by third parties and went up into their websites. Furthermore, I took out a series of links to websites that never seem to come out of their perpetual stealth mode. Nevertheless, please notify me if you see new life in this Death List:
