The site, in 1994
The Daily Telegraph's website, launched as the Electronic Telegraph with the print edition's top stories and later almost the whole paper.
Launched at midday on 15 November 1994 at Canary Wharf with Ben Rooney as editor, it was Europe's first daily web-based newspaper. Its reports on Bill Clinton and Whitewater drew a large American readership.
In 1994: Went live on 15 November, publishing top stories from a Sun Sparc 20 server on a 64 kbit/s line from Demon Internet.
Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
