The site, in 2007

A searchable database that linked anonymous Wikipedia edits to the organisations whose networks they apparently came from.

Virgil Griffith matched 34 million edits from 2002 to 2007 to the owners of IP address blocks. He said he hoped it would make Wikipedia more reliable on controversial topics. Wired, the BBC and Reuters reported what it turned up in 2007.

In 2007: Released on 13 August.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
