The site, in 1999

A Chinese news and entertainment portal, run by the company that also controls the microblog Weibo.

Formed in March 1999 from a merger of a Beijing firm and a California one, and listed on Nasdaq in April 2000. Its name means 'new wave'. Weibo had 583 million monthly users by June 2024.

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.
