Just ran across this AWESOME website that has a great guide to the history of the web from 1989 to 2020! It's a great looking site that has all kinds of interesting blurbs about important historical dates in the Internet's history.

(There's a form to enter your email on the front of the site if you want email updates etc, but I'm skipping straight to the timeline with this link here):

This post on #HistoryOfTheWeb captures exactly what keeps bringing me back to Mastodon. It feels like the early web - a little clunky, kind of weird, but a place for us to start anew away from mainstream culture.

“The web is a fascinating technology. I myself am frequently enamored with its inner workings. So much so that it’s easy to forget that it’s simply the medium. It’s what we fill it with that counts. And when someone takes the time to add something extraordinary, we should all take the time to appreciate it.”

#HistoryOfTheWeb question: were #CMS used much prior to the advent of #blogs? I vaguely remember #Joomla and other portal software, and forums, but what about for personal stuff? I used CuteNews a little bit (it got hacked), but I don't know if others really used them.
