Today's Webtip: Internet History
It's strange. I can clearly remember the first time someone told menabout Google, but I can't remember how I had been using the web at the time.
I can remember the first time I typed in a URL, and I know it was one I fond in a Mud, but I have no idea what it was. I can even remember putting together my first GeoCties page, but I have no idea how I used to find the others I frequented.
Everything sort of gets squished together.
So it's nice that there are other people out there who have tried to pay attention. The web history timeline for example. It covers some of the major highlights in the development of web technology. No gopher, usenet or Archie, but plenty of markup languages and browsers
It missed one of my personal highlights though. The release of Phoenix. The browser that eventually became Firefox. That was one clean little program.
Someone else took the time to string all of the Google doodles together.
And the Atlantic Wire tried to help me remember what the web was like before Google. It was mostly messy...
