Leslie Harpold (January 8, 1966 – December 7, 2006) was a Web publishing pioneer, humorist, and designer, whose early and unexpected death raised the issue of the vulnerability of a digital legacy. == Writing == Harpold was the publisher of Smug.com, an online culture and lifestyle magazine. Contributor Heidi Pollock described Smug as part of the "cultural migration from independent 'zine publishing to collaborative websites releasing curated content on a monthly basis".〔 Harpold's work there included a very early critical piece on blogging, "Logrolling". Her personal blog ''Hoopla 500'', with posts describing her experience of the 911 attacks and its aftermath, was archived by the Library of Congress in its September 11 Web Archive Collection. She was an early victim of domain hijacking in 2001, with her website hoopla.com getting transferred because of a forged fax request, which resulted in a high-profile protest against Verisign. In 2002, her short piece "How to Make Things Easier for Everyone" appeared in (Manual ), an early experiment in non-traditional anthology publishing. Harpold was noted for her work to expand the boundaries of writing and to build more connections between writers and readers, online and off. In May 1998 she participated in a three-week series of in-person readings by online writers called Web Writers in the Flesh. Many readers since her death have become familiar with her through the work she did for sites such as ''The Morning News'' and pieces like "How to Write a Thank-You Note".〔 Her writing on her now-defunct personal sites was also widely acclaimed, with "Possible Scenarios for Heaven" being one of the most notable.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leslie Harpold」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
