Dead Yard: Say a few words. Your website is dead.
Introducing… Dead Yard, a place to post website obituaries. I’ve had plenty of projects that have needed to die, but I didn’t know how to give them a proper burial till now. Dead Yard greatly benefits two types of people: Serial Website Starters and Internet Hall Monitors. Serial Website Starters Apparently I’m not the only chronic creative out there. In the act of buying domains, I felt a little addicted and asked the Nashville tech community how many domains people had. Brad Blackman has 5. Megan Morris has 7ish. Nicholas Young has 10ish. Mitch Canter has 10 or 12. Julia Corrigan has 18. Jackson Miller has 18. Stephen and Samantha have over 25. (This is when I start feeling less addicted.) Chip Hayner has 45. Chris Ennis has 47—oh and 104 expired. Jason Moore has 57. And I’m pretty sure some of these folks are being humble and not including the alternative extensions or alternate spellings for their websites. And there’s probably a few domain juggernauts out there who have yet to come forward. Comment below if you can beat Jason so we can either applaud or gasp depending on how personally addicted we are. Internet Hall Monitors Sometimes someone needs to make a stand and declare a website dead, like this one. I’m just saying if Morgan posted an obituary describing a tragic accident and how a website she hates died, I’d totally read it. So if you need to lay to rest a website in your heart, if only for sanity’s sake, post an obituary on Dead Yard.
Actually, reintroducing would be a better word. As regional technology beat reporter Tom Cheredar reported, this started as a twitter application and it… it sorta died, so I’m resurrecting it to see how it does in a different format.
I have over 30 website domain names. I’m a little addicted. I love creating online concepts. When your instinct is to impulsively create, inevitably it leads to a lot of stuff online, and sometimes that stuff sucks. Enter Dead Yard, a way to find closure when things go horribly wrong.
There are certain people on the Internet, such as Morgan Levy, who were born to call people out when they’re doing it wrong. If Morgan thinks you are being spammy, it’s because everyone else thinks you’re being spammy, but we’re being polite. We respect the truth that comes from the lips of an Internet Hall Monitor.
