Happy Birthday WWW!

It was 15 years ago on August 6th, 1991 that Tim Berners Lee released his World Wide Web project into the internet.

Tim BL made a posting on a newsgroup - alt.hypertext, and it is still available here as part of Google groups: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.hypertext/msg/395f282a67a1916c

When you read his description, it all sounds so familiar, yet Tim Berners Lee had thought about all this stuff by himself! He even made the first server, documents, and a prototype browser.

The Web was originally developed to share information between scientsits working in different locations.

It revolutionized the way the world organizes and shares information!
