I think it was better, but maybe less addicting. Quirky blogs, when you wanted to know something very often you were linked to a professor's page, more text, less interaction. Though there still were forums, there was less of the comment board stuff everywhere. Less emphasis on social. Also there was some really bad design. HTML was trying to also style things and people would get really cute with colors and animation effects. It was pretty tacky. I guess this is after the time when it was academic, but before Facebook.
