The site, in 1996
A web portal and directory run by Jimmy Wales, Tim Shell and Michael Davis, which built webrings and sold advertising.
The name came from "Bitter Old Men in Suits". It hosted Nupedia, then Wikipedia, which started on 15 January 2001 and was handed to the Wikimedia Foundation in 2003.
In 1996: Founded this year. Early ideas included a directory of information about Chicago.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
