This is just slop, it's baffling that it reaches the top

Do you ever upvote links? Upon reflection I realize that I hardly ever do. Perhaps thoughtful participants could redouble our efforts in this regard.

Domain unreachable being marked as 'dead' just makes this whole list kinda not helpful? Just the first item I can see https://tooldirectory.ai/tools/letterdrop-ai-content-creatio... but the site just looks fine? https://letterdrop.com/ Maybe some of these are not really dead but thriving enough they are able to get a proper .com domain :^)

Really wish there was a link to the site they tried for every "dead" site, if only to see the goodbye notice that pages put up. Sites like "Our Incredible Journey" [1] really highlight just what happens to so many of these companies, but an unreachable domain is definitely not a main criteria to base a graveyard off of.

Streamlit seems very much alive. I used it on and off in the past. Went to their website and it looks very much alive. Ditto for Weights and Biases.

They are in the "Year unknown (12)" category but that's a weird thing to include. Plus they aren't even AI products, but either have vigorous pre-AI use (W&B) or are completely non-AI but just used by lots of prototypes (streamlit)

Weights and Biases is a tool for monitoring AI training runs.

I don't see how you can say it has "pre-AI use" unless you are narrowly defining AI to be LLMs.

Never heard of most of these. What a waste of a click.

What made Google Graveyard interesting was they were often successful or extremely popular products (and the list was well done). Since then people have been posting Graveyards to show most businesses and products are never successful in the first place , but with a category filter to make it appear unique.

Just thinking about how this could be useful and it could serve as an interesting counter example. So if you have an idea and you find it on this graveyard, it's probably something not to do or it might be worth thinking on a little longer before proceeding.
