"The
strange saga of Yahoo and WebRing: The sad
tale of a hip little software program for linking Web sites together that
was swallowed by by a once-hip behemoth -- then crashed and burned." ...
"On Sept. 5, 2000, the day Yahoo assimilated WebRing, the "ringmasters"
responsible for tending the chains of Web sites linked together by WebRing
software fumed with pitched fury." ... "WebRing is essentially little more
than a way for sites devoted to similar topics to share links and boost
each other's traffic. But to its fans, it makes beautiful order out of
chaos." ... "Even now, more than a year later, after the somewhat anticlimactic
liberation of WebRing from supposed Yahoo tyranny, the ringmasters are
still angry." (1, 2,
