Dolly Parton was ahead of her time in literally every aspect of her life.

Before Dolly Parton had her own homepage - before Sony had anything but a one-line file in a single directory listing the name of an upcoming album - Dolly Parton's radio station WDLY was online in '1996.
(Image that says "Turn Me On!": The WDLY logo; "105.5FM, Dolly's Station.") (Image that says "Welcome"; the WDLY logo; "from Dolly!") (Image that says "Celebrating 40 years serving Sevier County"; the WSEV logo; "930AM Hometown Radio") DOLLYWOOD BROADCASTING COMPANY (image that says "Dolly's WDLY Smoky Mountain Action Guide") This page has been visited 005909 times. This Web Site contains information on WDLY and WSEV radio stations, including history, programming, contest, free stuff and air personality biographies. Dolly Parton's WDLY Smoky Mountain Action Guide is a link to businesses and organizations serving Sevier County, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Cherokee North Carolina and other parts of the Southeast. These advertisers serve tourists and visitors vacationing in the area. They represent retail and factory outlet shopping, arts, crafts, lodging, restaurants, music theaters, real estate, chalet, cabin and inn rentals, motel and hotel accommodations, gift shops, sporting goods, antique malls, golf and country clubs, amusements and much more.

¿Dónde van los enlaces cuando mueren?

Un estudio a más de 650.000 webs revela que gran parte de nuestra historia digital desaparece cada año.

La memoria de internet es mucho más frágil de lo que pensamos. ¿Qué estamos perdiendo sin darnos cuenta? 🌐📉

SVGs were first introduced in 2001 by the W3C.

Today, they’re a staple for web and app design thanks to their scalability.

What’s your favorite way to use them?

As part of the special issue on Utopian Media Studies that I am co-editing with Convergence, I am pleased to see this article by the very talented @anya-shchetvina.bsky.social and @nathaliefridz.bsky.social come out. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #utopia #mediastudies #webhistory
Screenshot of the journal title page for the article: "The Vernacular web: A notion at the intersection of media theory and a utopian web imaginary". with the abstract: "This article critically examines the vernacular web as a notion that exists in conceptual ambiguity between Media and Internet Studies, Web History, and artistic and activist practice. Drawing on Ruth Levitas’s argument that utopian implications are often embedded within the Social Sciences and can be critically excavated (2013), it argues that the vernacular web operates across two registers: an analytical concept describing amateur, non-institutional, and ostensibly autonomous forms of online practice, and a temporally grounded imaginary that invests the early web with utopian value. By analysing the reciprocity between these two registers, the article traces how utopian assumptions about autonomy, participation, and digital well-being circulate across scholarship, historical narratives, and activist practice. Through the cases of Olia Lialina’s essays and The Yesterweb, it identifies three constituent values of functional autonomy, while arguing that this imaginary remains half-baked: oriented towards aesthetics and affect rather than a reflection on the feasibility, limitations and potential risks."

Finally got my copy of "This Is For Everyone" by @timbl.bsky.social ! 📚
The inventor of the WWW shares insights from CERN on the future of the web. It's an essential read for anyone who cares about the internet's role in our society.
Highly recommend! 🌐

35 years ago, the web invited the world to:

"Try it."

Today:

#Take9. Verify it. Then try it.

Curiosity helped build the web. Trust can help strengthen its future.

#WorldWideWeb #WebHistory #WebSafety #DigitalTrust #Authenticity #AI @pausetake9.bsky.social
A split-screen illustration contrasts the early web with today’s digital landscape. On the left, a vintage CRT computer displays the original World Wide Web alongside the text “1991” and the quote, “Try it.” On the right, labeled “2016+,” the quote reads, “There’s a badge for that.” Icons highlight modern online challenges including AI-generated content, scams and impersonation, bots and automated interactions, and misinformation. In the center, an older person with short gray hair sits facing both eras, connected by a glowing pathway leading to a circular “Take 9” emblem. Across the top, the headline reads, “Curiosity helped build the web. Trust can help strengthen its future.” Below it: “Take 9. Verify it. Then try it.” A laptop and smartphone on the right display reminders to verify before engaging by checking the source, looking for evidence, using trusted tools, and thinking critically.
