My feeling is that it should be some sort of centralised service even.
Everybody registers their website with a particular provider (could be
done automatically first time) and that provider periodically (say
every 3 months) runs dead-link checkers, sends confirmation emails of
'X linked to you', etc.

Theoretically, this should even be a part of HQ's services to the
branches, but I suspect they have their own problems with technology
and/or there may not even be providers out there to do such services.

Do people (website masters in this case) even care if their links are
dead? Does anybody send 'notice, dead link' emails to web sites they
visit? I do, but then I worked in tech-support before.....

I am quite interested in this topic, so if you don't want to email the
whole list, private emails are welcome too.
