The New York Times Introduces a Web Site (1996)
- hippieheadcase 16y agoWow. 15 years. Congrats!
- mayankspeaks 16y agoWould not have imagined that one day the website will become mainstream. Congrats!
- dragonquest 16y agoUmmm, this is NYTimes we are talking about. Probably in the top newspapers of the world by popularity. Not becoming mainstream would have been a greater feat of imagination. :)
- citricsquid 16y agoI think he meant the website as in any website. Like "website" as an item, not this specific one. eg: "Would not have imagined the mp3 player..." not iPod etc.
- dgraunke 16y ago>Subscribers will have limited access to archives of Times articles and features dating to 1980, and will be able to copy articles to their own computers for $1.95 each, Mr. Nisenholtz said. Any idea on how this download-fee was implemented?
- donohoe 16y agoYes, if an article was older than 7 days you only got a summary with the option to get the full article (maybe a PDF too?) for $1.95. Not unlike buying an archive article now (I think its greater than 90 days now).
- btipling 16y agoIt looked like this then: http://web.archive.org/web/19961112181513/http://www.nytimes.com/ http://web.archive.org/web/19961112181513/http://www.nytimes... Love the image at the bottom that gave instructions on how to size your browser window.
- ludwigvan 16y agoAll the news that's fit to width!
- michaelcgorman 16y agoI like the http:/ typo. It really shows how unfamiliar the general public was with the internet just fifteen years ago.
- donohoe 16y agoAnd while they clearly anticipated Twitter, they put in the wrong Twitter handle @times versus @nytimes
