Pre-print: In "Platform and app histories" we discuss how platforms and apps notoriously resist archiving due to their ephemerality and continuous updates but that we can find their material traces in web archives and app repositories (w/@fvandervlist). https://t.co/7e4WLTDDIn

[CJ Reynolds @reynoldscj]

New publication out with @blakeplease! Remember 20 years ago when GeoCities users boycotted and thoroughly embarrassed Yahoo? We take a full look at the 1999 Haunting of GeoCities and its impact on platforms today. Open access: https://t.co/OUEYl8Tm08
