smallwebmourning

/ˌsmɔːlwɛbˈmɔːnɪŋ/nounVerified New

Grief for the hand-made web of personal pages, guestbooks, and webrings — a lost texture rather than a lost site.

Nobody mourns one page; people mourn the mode — sites that were someone's room, built slowly, linked by hand. Smallwebmourning is nostalgia with a URL structure: the feeling that the web used to be furniture and became a feed.

Etym. — *small web* (the hand-built, non-commercial web) + *mourning*.

Rel. — screennamefriend
