"I miss the 90s internet. So many things sucked so bad, but so many things were really good."
All these years later and I still have never seen a satire that was so current, so correct and so fascinating as suck.com.
It was such a jewel.
- throwaway2016a 10y agoFun fact... that website is owned by Lycos if you remember them. I used to work at Lycos and occasionally we would consider fun things to do with that site (like let people register subdomains and own "yankees.suck.com" [1]) [1] Fo rthose not from the US or East Coast US. Lycos headquarters was (is?) in Waltham, MA, right outside of Boston and the Boston Red Sox baseball team has a famous rivalry with the New York Yankees.
- mstade 10y agoI remember Lycos! I knew nothing about them except the name really, they were described as one of the new and hot internet companies more or less. Of course no one actually knew what they were talking about (so Wired is the same now as then, basically) but that didn't stop anyone from asserting everything. Loved it.
