> "Twenty five years ago, it didn't exist. Today [1998], twenty million people worldwide are surfing the Net." The scale of the web today is truly staggering. The entirety of Yahoo era internet users would be a single celebrity's Twitter followers now. It's no wonder things felt so much more intimate and real back then. It really was a qualitatively different time and place. |

Facebook alone has two orders of magnitude (2 billion) more users than 1998 had in its entirety.
Crazy.
