This is a pretty cool read to burn a few minutes chronicling some internet firsts. First tweet ever, first photo uploaded, first ebay item purchased.

It's pretty cool.

kinda silly because photos were being exchanged for decades before the "www" browsers appeared.

eta I remember this!!!

in 1991, researchers at the University of Cambridge were in total distress to find themselves working on a different floor from the building’s coffee machine, many times traversing flights of stairs only to arrive at an empty pot.

in 1991, Berners-Lee also thought it might be helpful if there was one central place where users could learn how to use the World Wide Web. Thus, the first ever webpage was born!

in 1985, a Massachusetts-based computer manufacturer by the name of Symbolics registered the domain symbolics.com.


So before webpages, how were domains used?

a domain is a domain.

webpage can reside on a domain but webpage != domain

In 1995, backwhen eBay was called AuctionWeb, its owners set out to test the new website by listing a broken laser pointer for sale. Much to their surprise, the laser pointer was quickly purchased by someone for $14.83. Confused, the owners asked the customer if they knew that the laser was broken. When the customer replied, “I’m a collector of broken laser pointers,” they knew they were onto something big.

WTF?
