The site, in 1999
An English-language news site on Asian politics, economics and culture, begun as the web successor to a Bangkok newspaper.
Former contributors to the Bangkok Asia Times, which closed in 1997, set it up in 1999. In 2006 the New York Times called it one of the most prominent English-language regional publications. It dropped 'Online' and moved to asiatimes.com in 2019.
In 1999: Created early in the year at atimes.com, as successor to a Bangkok newspaper that had closed in mid-1997.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
