>GHOSTS ON THE WEB

>"Beware of what you create. It may come back to haunt you."
>
>At Ghost Sites, freelance writer Steve Baldwin documents Web pages that
>are dead but continue to haunt the Internet. Ghost sites are "grim
>digital apparitions reminding us of how perilous the voyage through
>cyberspace has become.... Most of them die slowly, from degenerative
>bit rot and months of atrophy." While many of the sites that fall into
>disuse were created by companies that have gone out of business,
>academic institutions also provide a big source of dead sites.
>College-hosted student Web pages linger on after their owners graduate
>or move on to other interests. Even department-sponsored sites are
>subject to untimely ends when grant money for their upkeep runs out or
>projects are completed.
>Visit Ghost Sites at http://www.disobey.com/ghostsites/index.htm
>
>And, in honor of Halloween, check out ghosts of a more spectral nature
>on The Ghost Web, the official Web site for the International Ghost
>Hunters Society at http://www.ghostweb.com/
