<nettime> Hyves: the Money |
Dear nettimers, especially Dutch ones Hyves.nl is closing on Friday There are still some hours left to grab your stuff! You could also help Archive team by running"the warrior" http://tracker.archiveteam.org/hyves/I was not an active Hyves user. So after getting a note that the service was to be closed on the 29th of November 2013 and there was one week to download the files, I personally didn't have a lot to worry about. But I looked around and carried out what I could.
http://contemporary-home-computing.org/hyves/money/With this money we can build a social network that will never be sold to Yahoo, will not become a gaming portal and will allow animated GIFs in the backgrounds of user profiles!
Why Hyves matters? This is what I wrote 2 years ago about it as one of the last "Pimp my Profile" networks
