Permalinks are commonplace on the web. But it took the rise of blogging to codify them & bring them out into the world. & it all started with a single exchange of blogs

I launched my design agency in 1997.

Back then, "SEO" was stuffing keywords into meta tags and hoping Altavista noticed. The tools were tables and spacer.gifs.

Today, I'm auditing site architecture for semantic topic clusters and E-E-A-T signals.

The tech stack has completely changed in 28 years, but the core rule hasn't: Good design is clear communication, not just decoration.

The History of the Web

Just ran across this AWESOME website that has a great guide to the history of the web from 1989 to 2020! It's a great looking site that has all kinds of interesting blurbs about important historical dates in the Internet's history.

(There's a form to enter your email on the front of the site if you want email updates etc, but I'm skipping straight to the timeline with this link here):

This post on #HistoryOfTheWeb captures exactly what keeps bringing me back to Mastodon. It feels like the early web - a little clunky, kind of weird, but a place for us to start anew away from mainstream culture.

This is what you're nostalgic for - The History of the Web

There's a word for what you're feeling. It's anemoia. And it's completely made up.

The History of the Web

“The web is a fascinating technology. I myself am frequently enamored with its inner workings. So much so that it’s easy to forget that it’s simply the medium. It’s what we fill it with that counts. And when someone takes the time to add something extraordinary, we should all take the time to appreciate it.”
