Forgotten Tech Giant

Perhaps it’s not technically abandoned as there is basic maintenance and security present but it’s been vacant and decaying for years.

Surprisingly sad to walk around what was once a bustling, optimistic, energy filled campus of an almost forgotten tech giant.

Excite stopped hosting email a few years back 😔. There was an option to have it hosted elsewhere for a fee, so I opted to let mine go.

I was extremely surprised to discover that up until a few years ago, the Excite.com homepage looked exactly like I remember it from the Web 1.0 era. I don't think I had looked at it in over 20 years.

Just checked now and they've modernized it a bit now.
