The Internet Graveyard
Every entry below is a fragment of code recovered from a server that no longer answers. Search the archive, filter by category, and pay your respects to the platforms that shaped — and were forgotten by — the internet.
SHOWING 6 / 12 FRAGMENTS
Orkut
Google's first social network, beloved in Brazil and India long after Silicon Valley moved on. Sunset to make room for Google+.
MySpace
Top 8 friends, autoplay anthems, and HTML profile pages gone feral. Sold, rebuilt, and quietly emptied of everyone who mattered.
Friendster
The original social network. Outgrew its own servers, lost its users to MySpace, and spent its final years as a gaming site no one asked for.
Vine
Six-second loops that defined a generation of comedy. Bought by Twitter, starved of investment, and shuttered while its creators moved on.
Google+
Circles, Hangouts, and a forced identity layer nobody wanted. A 2018 API bug was the final push into the void.
Yik Yak
Anonymous, hyperlocal, and chaotic. Campus-wide bullying scandals and a failed pivot to real names ended the experiment.
