Let me see, I remember it was using Lynx on a dial-up, I'm pretty sure it was the CIX BBS http://atulchitnis.net/writing...

Mine was Beck.com in 1996. I was one of the first to try out my 6th Form college's internet-connected computer (dial-up of course). I was a huge Beck fan so I tried out Beck.com and was disappointed to see that it was just a splash image for his album Mellow Gold. It's come on a bit in 13 years: http://www.beck.com

ha! found the site in the wayback machine :-) http://web.archive.org/web... Good times, I remember sitting there with my sister reading the setup instructions, ftp'ing into the library's ftp server to get Netscape ?? and then loading this site. oh and the library was by far the cheapest minutes were only 25% of regular calls!! yes thats 0.25 dkr for one minute.

hotmail. Just wanted to get my email id before anyone else. And it was in 1998. Now its been ages since I visited hotmail

@Richard Cunningham - for AltaVista try 1995/1996 at the earliest - unveiled 15 Dec 1995; web crawled first on July 4th, 1995. [source: http://www.clubi.ie/webserc...]

@inaf well I know I was on from 1993 so I don't know how I searched for anything. Was using NSCA Mosaic for a short time before started using Netscape.
- Richard Cunningham
You didn't search for anything, Richard, because there was no websearch then. The closest I can think of when searching for new servers was grepping <http://linux.die.net/man...> the "http\:\/\/www" string in the folder of news:comp.infosystems.www.announce at the Unix end [though it may have been called something else then in Usenet, pre-Dejanews, pre-Googlegroups days].

This thread - now a post on The Next Web: http://thenextweb.com/2009... Thanks for the memories, everyone. Keep posting your memories of the web way-back-when :)
- Martin Bryant
[Administrivia] I much prefer to have you summarize relevant FF-originating comments on your #TNW site, Martin, to having them automatically reposted there, as previously was the case [http://ff.im/4bZK6]. Well done!
- ianf ⌘
Ian, that still happens automatically (although it won't pull all of this thread in as it's not linked to the post). Still, this has worked well so far so we'll probably do something similar again at some point.
- Martin Bryant
I suppose it was the Mosaic site. But real men used gopher. :-P
- Jason Huebel
I think the first site I ever visited was http://web.louvre.fr in Mosaic. Yes, french sites used "web" instead of the prefix "www" back then.
- Brome
Probably Dr Fun, http://www.ibiblio.org/Dave..., early 1994 using mosaic.
- andrej koelewijn
aol.com, probably.
- teh Dork Knight
Martin, I'm not talking specifically about #TNW's ab/use of reposting, but it opens a whole can of worms. Because, if you do it, and I do not vehemently object to it, then what is there to stop further parties from reposting my other content from still other places to their own, and potentially harmful-to-my-reputation, sites? Were that to end in court, I sure would name you as...

i really can't remember now, but i was definitely using Mosaic. i think i got it via gopher or ftp from some university.

@Jason Huebel - real men used WAIS, gopher was for sissies. [Amend: and before that modified finger-daemons to facilitate command+singleAddressString text delivery/publishing, as in %> finger "scip+fi%danny"@orthanc.cs.su.oz.au ]
- ianf ⌘
Probably yahoo
- Rodfather
It was probably www.ocf.berkeley.edu, using Lynx in 1994. But our university-issued UNIX shell accounts were configured to start up in Gopher by default.
- Victor Ganata
I managed to FTP Mosaic from somewhere. First site I recall was MIT School of Lockpicking, which I guess made an impression since it had images.

plato....1974
- Bob DeMarco
I don't remember my first 'web site.' I do remember using Gopher to visit Adam Curry's MTV.COM, though.
- John Craft
@Bob: plato wasn't a website. :P
- Joe Silence is not dead
Plato's was a Retreat [Ansonia Building, W. 73rd and Broadway, New York, N.Y.] I wasn't aware they had computers wired well into the future (or any other activities bar the, hmm, basic ones).

WWF (the wrestlers, not the wildlife). The chat rooms were the first I had ever visited and had me hooked. "mum im talking to Americans...for free..!" Other than that I remember Lycos being one of the earliest as it was the default homepage for all of my schools computers.

What a great day today. Hoping tomorrow follows suit. I'm really settling down and feeling good about life.

Identity in the Browser - http://labs.mozilla.com/2009...
Meryn Stol, Daniel Rowley, Hisham هشام and 7 other people liked this
Something that often goes unsaid in the discussion about online identity is that while most websites right now require usernames and passwords, many people actually use the password manager feature in the browser–effectively turning their browser into a limited identity manager. So one of the things we can and should be looking at is how to improve the existing identity manager to better serve our users’ needs.
- LANjackal
from Bookmarklet
Interesting especially in connection to our discussion yesterday about Firefox vs. Facebook.
- Kasper Sorensen
Well, I still think the concepts of identity management vs. running a full-blown social network are related but are still very separate issues. There's a difference between managing a set of keys (what Firefox is doing) and actually building/running/maintaining a house that requires a key for entrance (what Facebook is doing). It's true that the 2 are interdependent, but saying that one competes with the other IMO is still a largely inaccurate statement. We'll see how it turns out.
- LANjackal
not too bad at all. going to have to start trying that out on a few projects.

Interesting. I'll have to give it a try.

I tried it when it was first released and it was too buggy and slow for me to use as a quicksilver replacement. I'll have to take another look at it.

I've been using it for about a month. It's great.

It even let's you send updates to Twitter: "To tweet using QSB first set up your Twitter account (as documented above). Once that is setup you are ready to tweet. To actually tweet, you need to know the secret of creating a text item in QSB. Text items are things that start with a space (i.e. hit the space bar and then start typing). So to tweet you must activate the QSB, hit the space...

There's a Mac version of Desktop too. I've used both versions. QSB is quite a bit more useful.

I'm going to have to give this another look. It looks like they've made some more improvements. @Naor yes, Alcor, the developer of Quicksilver is the lead dev at Google on this project now.
- Adam Turetzky
I've been using it since the first release. It's replaced Quicksilver for me although there are still some things that I miss. It's quite stable.
- Brandon Titus
same here, it's a fantastic app I can't live without now.
- Jim Carter
@Adarm, that's a good reason to follow this one, should be interesting to see how it'll eveolve, it has to go some way before replacing QS, although it does feel great, wonder if they'll let plug-ins to be developed

yup, +1 Naor

This looks interesting. I never really got into Quicksilver, I'll give this a try instead.
