In 1993, web design didn't really exist — you couldn't even change the background color of your web page from grey. But Mosaic launched the first era of visual web design with the IMG tag, and soon after an MTV VJ (@adam) improbably created one of the first commercial websites. https://cybercultural.com/p/1993-mtv-internet/ #WebDesignHistory

1993: Web Browsers Add Multimedia and MTV.com Goes Online

Mosaic adds an image tag for HTML and becomes the first modern web browser in 1993. Soon after, MTV VJ Adam Curry builds one of the world's first commercial websites — not that his bosses care.

You wouldn't use a navigation app that deliberately took you to the wrong address or a calculator that gave you the wrong answer - so why do we accept similar behavior from our social media feeds?

We follow our friends, family, local businesses, and the creators we are interested in to see when they post something new, but so often their posts are not shown to us and other content is inserted into our feeds instead.
