Truth in Advertising
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:
One of the first sites written by Web developers for Web developers, Webmonkey is the comprehensive source of information for professional and amateur Web enthusiasts, offering daily articles and technical updates, as well as an archive of more than 200 features and tutorials. [emphasis added]

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