There was basically nothing on the internet 20 years ago.

MapQuest and Amazon both started around then. People stood up personal sites at places like GeoCities. There were chat services like ICQ.

Oh boy memories.. i still remember my six digit ICQ number. It had to be circa 2000?

There were just a bunch of DragonBall webmasters trying to rank #1 for DBZ in Altavista and Yahoo, but couldnt take that spot from VegettoEX.

I vividly remember lots of things... what I wouldn't give for seeing IRC rise up again

It's still here!!!

I love IRC -- especially being able to connect with open source project maintainers. Mad respect for all of them.

There was battle.net already. I needed very little else from the internet back then.
