Happy 20th birthday, World Wide Web

20 years ago, in 1991, Tim Berners-Lee made public the first website ever working with HTTP/HTML. This was his most successful invention.

Happy birthday, WWW.

Remember the day the walrus started to fly...

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

On a more somber note, the Web used to be completely open, and anonymous, but lately, more and more governments are restricting the use of the internet, and making it harder to do stuff online anonymously. I hope this trend doesn't continue.

There's always Usenet, but in the past twenty years that turned from the "poor man's ARPANET" into the rich man's anon server :P

Wow I was sure the first website appeared in 1995? O.o

I knew the Internet existed for way longer than 1995, though, such as IRC and Usenet.
