A brief history of Web Standards

[Saeed]

Some interesting stuff I didn't know atleast:

The Arial font was released first in 1982.
The first smiley emoticon : ) is invented in 1982 as well.
There were only 623 websites back in Dec '93. (Really?!)

I first went online at the end of 1996.
I well remember doing searches in Alta Vista and getting 100 results. 300 was a lot!

Sites had template pages - my first one was typical with TEXT + PIC on each page. Even one pic was a triumph to get it there.
But I so loved it all.

A also remember going to yahoo to see what new sites were added.

I remember before Yahoo there was a PRINTED book called The Internet "Phone Book" that has listings of websites etc. LOL. Those were the caveman days back in 1993-1994.

Nice to see that the XenForo logo font is the very first one mentioned there
