Happy 25th Anniversary - Internet Domain Names
High geekdom here -- on March 15th, 1985, the company Symbolics registered symbolics.com - the first registered Internet Domain Name.
From
Symbolics.com:
Happy Birthday to the .com!
25 years ago, today, the Internet received its first .com registration, when the Symbolics Computer Company registered Symbolics.com.
Nearly 200,000,000 registrations later, the Internet thrives as the world�s network for entertainment and business.
Very cool -- I remember sitting in my
favorite coffeehouse in Seattle when a guy I knew from the UW Physics department came wandering in looking at a printout and saying that this was really cool. It was Tim Berners Lee's original proposal from 1989 for the World Wide Web.
