The site, in 1996
The website of The Washington Post, the daily paper of the US capital, carrying its national, political and local reporting.
The Post bought the address in 1995, the year its online service Digital Ink launched and failed. Its first website went live in June 1996; Jeff Bezos bought the paper in 2013.
In 1996: Went live in June, after the short-lived Digital Ink service was shut down.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
