Do you still remember the time without, say, search engines? I really enjoyed the book This Is For Everyone by @timbl.bsky.social, the inventor of the World Wide Web. Here's my review: ville.saalo.moi/2026/07/16/t...

I'm currently reading #thisisforeveryone and as a non-techy person this was an eye-opening read of the decisions made and the struggle to keep the web accessible while blissfully writing fanfic.

Strongly rec reading this over getting blasted with AI-caused layoff news and posts on Insta and Tiktok

December 25 is a special day. Why?
Because it is…

Thirty-five years since @timbernerslee.bsky.social introduced WorldWideWeb, the world’s first web browser.

Tim Berners-Lee on #ThisIsForEveryone & the future of #DecentralisedWeb: His work on Personal Online Data Stores focuses on supporting true data sovereignty through data wallets & stretching security protocols. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the intersection of ethics and architecture.

Starting the fourth chapter "The Rise of the Web" of #thisisforeveryone, I am pleasently surprised to find out a librarian — Louise Addis of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) — played an important, supportive role in the very first days of the web.
From page 89 of TBL's "This for everyone": "Estimates vary, but only around 2 million people regularly used the internet in 1991 — approximately 0.03 per cent of the Earth’s population. Most of them were academics, since the internet hadn't yet been formally opened to the public, and the concept of an Internet Service Provider (ISP) was still in its infancy. One of those early users was Paul Kunz, a particle physicist and software developer at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in Menlo, California. Paul visited CERN for unrelated business in 1991, but, as I knew he was a NeXT enthusiast, I was able to corral him for a quick demonstration of the World Wide Web. Paul used a NeXT at CERN to log into his own computer in California remotely, then downloaded the web app remotely. He loved how fast it was, even when browsing web pages across the Atlantic. Like Robert Cailliau, Paul got it instantly, and evangelized for the technology upon his return to Stanford, With the help of SLAC librarian Louise Addis, Paul encoded a large number of scientific papers into HTML, then created a web page at http://slacvm.slac.stanford.edu."

Tim Berners-Lee hat das Internet erfunden. Also, #HTML und den #WorldWideWeb-Teil. Am #CERN. Damit ist er Mitglied des sehr erlauchten Kreises von Menschen, die von sich behaupten können, wirklich die gesamte Welt nachhaltig geprägt und verändert zu haben. Jetzt hat er mir „This is for everyone” ein Buch über genau diese Zeit vorgelegt. Und ich habe seit dem Wochenende meine signierte Ausgabe davon! 🎉

On p.104, TBL mentions what may have been the first digitized collection on the web. #thisisforeveryone
Sometime late in 1992, I stumbled upon a wonderful website that contained an archive of illuminated sheet music from the Italian Renaissance. I remember clicking on one thumbnail and having it suddenly appear as a beautiful, full-colour scan on my 21-inch screen. I was delighted — I felt as if I were sitting in the Vatican archives, paging through this antique document myself. The project was a collaboration between the Vatican, the Library of Congress — which had had a physical exhibition and scanned the pictures — and a Dutchman who knew about the web. Not the first time people would collaborate across the internet, but a dramatically beautiful example.
