Goodbye Tomalak

Goodbye Tomalak. Lawrence Lee of Tomalak's Realm has decided to shut down his excellent news service to pursue other goals. Tomalak's Realm published and emailed daily summaries of news stories about strategic Web design from hundreds of sources, including New York Times, The Economist, The Standard, Useit, and Wired News. What I liked most about this service was its competent and brief overview on current affairs.

I made a brief comment on Tomalak's Realm a year ago. Lawrence Lee responded to the comment by changing the page width to 600 pixels on all news archive pages.

Update comment (June 16, 2001). Hello again, Tomalak. Lawrence Lee and Tomalak's Realm has partnered with Dave Winer of UserLand and decided to let Tomalak's Realm live. UserLand provides the software behind Tomalak's Realm. So it goes.
