The site, in 2008
A German satirical news website by Stefan Sichermann, with made-up news stories, a newsticker, commentaries and surveys, plus an English edition.
Sichermann, a PR worker inspired by The Onion, began it as a hobby in 2008. It won a Grimme Online Award in 2013 and drew over 14 million visitors in October 2015, and its jokes have been passed on as real news.
In 2008: Started as Stefan Sichermann's hobby; he kept his PR job until 2011.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
