The site, in 2002

An online database where birdwatchers log what they see, giving scientists up-to-date data on where birds are and how many.

By May 2021 it held over one billion recorded observations, and it now gains over 100 million a year. Scientists have used it to study migration routes and the effects of climate change.

In 2002: Launched by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society.

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 Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
