Fact-o-rama - 26/02/07

joeymahone [Edit] [Delete] 10:46, 26 February '07

Today in 1991, Tim Berners-Lee launched WorldWideWeb, the world's first web browser and WYSIWYG HTML editor. Apparently it looked something like this:

None of this Web 2.0 airbrushed logos bullshit, eh? It was the only way to view t'internet at the time. I'd imagine Tim B-L is pretty minted right now...

(Bonus fact from his Wikipedia bio: "He is an alumnus of The Queen's College, Oxford where he played tiddlywinks for Oxford, against rival Cambridge." What Larks!)

Good weekends, everyone?
