Webmonkey, RIP: 1996 – 2004
As feared by me in my earlier post, They finally pulled the plug.
Webmonkey, the site that turned humble Web developers into attention-grabbing authors, said last week it is closing down following a round of layoffs in the U.S. division of its parent company, Terra Lycos which runs, inter alia, Tripod, Wired News, Lycos etc.
The end came on 14th inst to the utter dismay of many an amateur wannabe webmaster like me for whom the friendly primate was the primary tutor in our toddling steps to put things on the web!
Miss you, pal!
End of an era of the tekki banana!
Sadly, Yes 
Webmonkey, the web site that made more folks tinker with web-building and back-end scripting than any teaching school could do is shutting down. We’ll all miss the “smart, sassy friend you wish you had”, as described by the Editorial founder June Cohen .
Webmonkey specialised in a zazzy, informal style of the writings on the site devoid all kinds of punditry. The site’s editors ditched the dry, lecturelike tone of other tech publications in favor of a flip, funny approach - the language Web geeks use amongst themselves.
The pain of the changing pattern of cyber-commerce!
Sad, sad indeed!

About Me
I am S.K!
Ok, what's the big deal, you may ask! But you may miss a good deal if you do not dwell deep into this web site, specially hand-crafted for you. But what about me, the person? Wait, I am not good at making things up. If you stumble upon a good-sounding résumé, please pass it on to me!
