The site, in 1999
An online magazine of pop culture criticism, with reviews, interviews and essays on music, film, television, books and games.
Sarah Zupko founded it in late 1999 as a sister to her academic site PopCultures. It grew from weekly to five days a week and, from 2006, wrote syndicated newspaper columns for McClatchy-Tribune.
In 1999: Launched in late 1999 as a sister site to PopCultures.
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 Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
