Meta-Death: AOL's Deathwatch Blog

| No Comments
peopleconnectionblog.jpgI don't think that People Connection was originally meant to be a death pool: However, AOL has turned this blog into a relentless drumming of sites and projects they're canceling, including several I was unaware that AOL wrote. There must be a lot of layoffs and shifting around at the firm, given how many sites are shutting down. For instance, Circavie, a personal timeline feature, will erase itself from all four dimensions on 15-January-2009; there's no apparent way to extract timelines you've created. Ficlets, a kind of exquisite corpse for the digital world, will also be shredded on 15-January-2009. One of the People Connection bloggers is still trying to maintain a good attitude, though. Kelly Wilson posts in the middle of the death march of shutdowns, "What's on your plate this Thanksgiving? Share a recipe or your favorite dish!"
