The music they couldn't kill!
Ever wondered what happened to IT Anthems, ZDNet's fabled web craze of 2002? It's still there, even in the new-look ZDNet UK. But you have to look...
The only Anthems page that shows up on ZDNet's own search is the splendid abysmal Apple page, including Apple is Baking Fruit and Apple II Forever.
But there's plenty more there. Google search the site, and the others crawl out of the woodwork, including this Toolkit.
The links from the Toolkit don't work, but it's possible to cut-n-paste the story numbers from those links into a standard ZDNet URL. so here they are...
- The earnest harmonies of Honeywell
- The upbeat Ahhh Fujitsu.
- Gibo Groep
- OpenBSD
- Unbelievable... The Power of Sun
- The Free Software Song
- Pass: Ride On
- Worse than a virus outbreak: Checkpoint: We secure the Internet
- Asera rocks the world
- Apple's Greatest Hits
- nVidia, take the world by Soundstorm
- 1-2-3-4-element 5 unplugged
- Sensormatic: I told you we can fly
- I believe in Teradata
- Mindtree: Imagination, Action, Joy!
- Texas Instruments: Fast Forward
- Ericsson WAP rap - in a word, claptrap.
- The industy-defining Ever Onward IBM
- Unisys: We eat, sleep and drink this stuff
- KPMG: the Power of One
- 1-2-3-4 element 5
- Come on board with Blackberry
- Computas - share your knowledge
- A whole bunch of songs in the Hewlett-Packard Roundup
- Corporate Gospel in Ernst&Young Happy Day
- The touching melody of Philips was my first love
- Watch out Sister Sledge - We're AT&T!
- And the hit that started it all: KPMG - our vision of global strategy
Maybe we could restore them all to their former glory... or do we dare?
All IT Anthems news gratefully received...
Comments on this post
at least most of the links work.
Thanks!
I've been looking for a few of these.
