The site, in 2005
A podcast network of technology shows founded by broadcaster Leo Laporte and named after its flagship programme, This Week in Tech.
It began in April 2005 with This Week in Tech, and Security Now followed in August. In 2014 Laporte said it made $6 million a year in ads from 5 million monthly downloads. Its logo is an AND logic gate turned on its side.
In 2005: Launched in April with This Week in Tech, which won that year's People's Choice Podcast Award for technology.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
