In the article he states, "today, at its 20th anniversary". This caused me to double-check the date of publication, which is November 22nd. Ignoring for a second that TBL has transcended space and time to the point that he can publish from the future, this is the only place I can find a reference to the exact day the web went live. Wikipedia's best date is, "by Christmas 1990, Berners-Lee had built all the tools necessary for a working Web." [1] The next date it mentions is August 6, 1991, which is when he posted a public summary of the project.
Does anyone have any good information on a more precise day we could say the web went live? I want to know when best to have a party.
