GoogObits are obituaries and essays augmented by Google searches. There is a lot to learn from the dead.
I copy/ paste the full text of obituaries from the New York Times into this blog and use hyperlinks, title tags, and search engine results to provide new layers of meaning.
If you are a reader of GoogObits from its first life as a Salon blog, welcome. If you are new, I welcome you as well.
I intend to inject some new life into this weblog here in its new home, with more frequent updates and a more serious focus on the underlying principle: that copyrighted text has meaning beyond its first life.
