The site, in 1998
A South Korean web portal that began with Hanmail, the country's first free webmail, and became known for its Daum Cafe online communities.
Free email made it Korea's first big portal. Daum Cafe, begun in 1999, has since hosted over 16 million clubs, and in 2014 Daum merged with Kakao, maker of KakaoTalk.
In 1998: Running Hanmail, which it had opened in May 1997 as Korea's first free webmail; it relaunched as the portal Daum in July 1999.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
