The site, in 2005
A nonprofit publisher of open-access science and medical journals, free to read and reuse with credit.
Tens of thousands signed its founders' pledge but few acted on it, so Patrick O. Brown and Michael Eisen started their own publisher. PLOS Biology, its first journal, appeared in October 2003.
In 2005: Still styled PLoS, two years on from its first journal, PLoS Biology, launched in October 2003.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
