If you think about how far the web has come in such a short period of time it only leaves you wondering what is to come in the future. It’s hard for anyone to fathom the sorts of technologies and amazing advances we will have in the near future let alone in another 15 years. I for one can’t wait. Happy birthday WWW.

The web has come a long way. I remember being in AOL chatrooms and playing around when my parents weren’t looking. Not we have Facebook, youtube, and all these advances. What’s funny is, the web is still in its infancy. We have a lot more that we can do with it.

I made a fortune by dumping my (then meager) life savings into a on an unknown company with a ticket symbol AMER back in 1993. Withing a few years, unknown AMER changed its ticket symbol to AOL and became a household name. Years later, woo hoo, my investment was worth enough to buy Sweden and have money left over for a down payment on Australia. Well not literally, but kinda. Unfortunately for me, I got greedy and held on, assuming AOL would continue to double every few nanoseconds, like it did for 7 gloriously lucrative years. Poof, AOL got greedy bought Time Warner in a very messy deal that wrecked both companies, the dotbomb bubble imploded, the entire AOL house of cards came crashing down. Fortunately I didn’t lose money, but I barely got out with my original investment intact. Oh well, roll back the clock to 1993. It was nice while it lasted.

Rock on World Wide Web. But I’ll bet you don’t remember WWWW the World Wide Web Worm, one of the early web crawlers.

Speaking of hearing dial up modems, I can’t believe that in 2010 there are still areas of the USA who don’t have access to broadband. I have a friend who I play competitive online gaming with, who still does not have broadband and is on believe it or not… 56k! He lives out in DeRidder, Louisiana.

Great post though, brings back some good ol memories!

Yes, it’s been quite a remarkable ride so far. Don’t think any of us could’ve imagined it would be this big by now. Probably one of the biggest achievments of humanity. Here’s a to a long life.

Till then,

Jean

The web is a big messy thing and will evolve rapidly just like the rest of our experiences. We have to embrace that while making sure it remains open to all.

Telling content authors that a workable fallback solution *must* exist for would have either stopped BeSpin in its tracks, or challenged its creators to solve the problem before launching the application.

We are still dealing with issues that Nelson and McLuhan discussed. Forty years … technology takes time to become absorbed into culture.

Ron and Mark, as a member of the WestHost team I have a first hand witness to the amount of concern, effort and money being placed to fully restore your services; even though this outage was not a mistake by any WestHost personnel or systems.

We have many, many employees who have left their regular desk in the office, their families and spent countless hours in the data center. We have also sent several emails, spent many hours working with clients on the forum, set up a new section in the members area of our Web site (http://netstatus.westhost.com) to name a few.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this outage has caused you. As the emails/forums/etc have stated, we will provide compensation for your down-time in the form of free month(s) of service. We are committed to providing you with the highest level of service possible, and will be providing more information on your server status. Thank you for your patience.
