Clicking around a little on the OP site's gallery led me to http://blog.geocities.institute/

and, in particular, to the post on the front page as of today, "9/11 and Vernacular Web" http://blog.geocities.institute/archives/5983, which catalogs Geocities pages updated on 9/11. Pretty haunting.




Last week I was looking at an old CD-ROM of photos taken by a survey crew in the buildings around Ground Zero in the first few days after the attack.

It was startling to see how many messages various people had written in the thick dust that covered everything. The most common message was one word: "Revenge!"


Now that would be genuinely interesting to have a look through.
