    What was the first ever website you clicked onto when you first tried the internet?

    I think mine was rotten.com at a friends house when i was like 14 or 15 , 9 years ago! It was fairly popular back in the day! Filled with autopsies and other sick stuff!

    So when that dial-up finally got going after about 20 minutes of waiting and you had the freedom of the whole interweb at your fingertips what words did you type into the searchbar?

    I remember looking up Samantha Mumba's official site back during my first few times on the 'net :o It's okay I was like 11...or else Terrifichick - I was obsessed with the message boards on that for about three years before they it eventually closed down.

    It was bolt.com. I was 14 or 15 at the time and I used the internet from the local library. Someone had set it as the homepage on the computer. It was a lot like this site but aimed at teens. I actually started using the site regularly for a few years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,587 ✭✭✭✭Frisbee


    google

    I posted this in "cool vids & pics" forum a little while back.
    Must see viewing for internet nostalgia:

    http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

    Its a web archive search engine. Type in any website address and you can see what the site looked like at a date in the past. The RTE website back in 1996 resembles Aertel teletext. Check what was in the news on CNN on a chosen date or have a laugh at the primitive boards.ie . Early internet porn was ridiculous...

    Enjoy ;)

    Pringles.com haha

    I remember my friend got the internet and about 5 of us went to his to see this wonderful thing. None of us knew any websites so we seen the Pringles site on the tin and went there.

    We lasted about 10 seconds...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,078 ✭✭✭onemorechance
