- jrb357, on 06/05/2008, -2/+5The Web came about from the genius of Tim Berners-Lee at CERN. TCP/IP, the communications protocol, for all communications today is a direct result of ARPANET. However, the Web need TCP/IP to be available, and what Tim Berners-Lee added was the protocols to enable disparate systems - IBM, Digital, Microsoft - to speak a common language [HTML, HTTP] to efficiently share and pass information.

quote from Marc Andreessen, the creator of the worlds first web browser Mosaic. - deathfix, on 06/05/2008, -2/+3This article sounds more interesting, yet accurate, when you add "for porn" to the end of every sentence.
"This year also marks the 15th anniversary of the launch of Mosaic, the first widely used browser, which brought the Internet into the hands of ordinary people [for porn]." - JohnnyXmas, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1"I beat The Internet; the last boss was hard."
- bubba9999, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1Is it just a coincidence that the first blogs were written by someone named "Winer"? If only he had an H in his name.
- funkywood, on 06/05/2008, -1/+1Just be glad he had the foresight to set it free. If it had been up the US profit motive to invent it we'd all be stuck with a gated AOL shadow of a web now.

Favorite Quote:
"In the early days when there was a community of Barbie-doll collectors.
They found eBay sort of all at once.
...we had an early focus group in late ’96, and one of the guys who came to our focus group was a truckdriver...he says, I’m a truckdriver and I collect Barbies." - poesybeater, on 06/05/2008, -1/+0Bush and Licklider?

- hexydes, on 06/05/2008, -5/+2I'm sorry, but...Google and YouTube, of Amazon and Facebook, of the Drudge Report...
...and then the Obama campaign?
Yes, certainly when you think of the pinnacle of achievements on the Internet, you group gigantic mega-corporations that have defined how people use the web, with a political campaign. If Obama does somehow win the race for President, the Internet portion of his campaign will just be a side note. If he loses, no one will remember him in four years, and it won't much matter at that point.
At any rate, to group a stupid political campaign with the rest of the members of that list is stupid. Buried for being stupid. - storytell3r, on 06/05/2008, -6/+0not monica lewinsky?
