The site, in 1995
A daily web magazine of cynical, link-filled commentary on media, politics and the internet, aimed at Generation X and illustrated by Terry Colon.
Two HotWired staffers, Joey Anuff and Carl Steadman, started it in 1995, making it one of the first ad-supported content sites. It merged with Feed in 2000, stopped publishing in June 2001 and stayed online until December 2018.
In 1995: Its first year: one essay a day, its text kept to a table 200 pixels wide, with links woven into the sentences instead of footnotes.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
