Research notes
- By Rob Price. Byline block reads 'Nov 7, 2014, 10:08am CT | Last updated Nov 7, 2014, 10:13am CT'.
- The live dailydot.com URL now returns 404; read via the Wayback capture of 2015-04-14 cited by the record, which is recorded as archive_url.
- The piece is an interview with the operator, so its claims about the relaunch are the operator's own; treat the rebrand-at-same-address detail as reported, not independently confirmed.
