Ars Technicast, Episode 23–Ghosts of online services we abandoned

Forgotten and dead accounts tell us a lot about where the Internet was back then.

Ars Technicast, Episode 23–Ghosts of online services we abandoned

Over the years, most of us have left certain online services behind. We closed out some of our accounts and let others languish in the graveyard of the Internet. Today, we talk about the ghosts of those screen names past. Some of the services we talk about in this show include the original Hotmail, AOL, LiveJournal, and MySpace. Join our host, Senior Apple Editor Jacqui Cheng, as well as Ars Contributors Andrew Cunningham and Casey Johnston, and Social Editor Cesar Torres in this look back at the things we abandoned as our lives grew more connected with the Internet.

Share with us your own stories of online services that you abandoned in the comments below. Also, if you enjoy the Ars Technicast and you happen to subscribe via iTunes or Stitcher, please leave us a review or comment in those places. Also, don't forget to take our poll below.
