The Zombie Websites Of Dead Retailers
Mike Kalasnik/FlickrMany big retailers have died since the rise of the web and e-commerce — either by being snatched up and killed off by their competition, or by failing to adapt and going bankrupt.
Even so, a lot of them don't disappear completely. The brands strive on in some form.
At the least, their domain names survive as the last remnant of once-great brands.
So what happens when you plug in the old domain names of these dead retailers?
Well, some of them really are dead, only living through a zombie domain that redirects you to the new owner's site.
Other brands, though, have been resurrected.
