The site, in 1995
An early web series about young housemates in a Santa Monica beach house, told through near-daily online diaries, photos and short episodes.
Scott Zakarin started it in June 1995 and it drew over 100,000 hits a day. Fans emailed the characters advice that could change the story, and it won the first Cool Site of the Year award, later known as the Webby.
In 1995: Began in June; by August it had won the first Cool Site of the Year award.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
