Visit Chickclick’s hompage now and then cry. It looks like the place has been robbed. I may not be a 16-year-old girl but I got my start in online communities at several CC affiliate sites, most of which are gone now. ChickClick’s affiliate program used to number about 30 strong, mostly independent content sites run by one overworked person and a lot of exploited friends. Adds from Mama Chickclick allowed these sites to have a litle money, to survive without driving their creators insane. I was about to become one of those people so I learned a lot from them.

How things have changed. My friend Britton used to work for Snowball, Chickclick’s parent company, and told me the site had been gutted and sold for scrap. I think I would have been happier if there had just been a “We’re Closed” page up like the one I also saw at Switchhouse this morning instead of this shadow of its former self.
