The site, in 1996
The New York Times's own website, launched after two years of the paper's @times service on America Online.
nytimes.com went live in January 1996, as online rivals and classified sites such as Monster.com and Craigslist pushed the paper to build its own. It became the core of the Times's later move to digital subscriptions.
In 1996: Went live on 19 January and was formally announced three days later.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
