I think it's possible that the blue links do in fact derive from earlier work, but the article seems pretty muddled. The connection it makes from the earlier work to the web browsers seems to be via the impact it had on Tim Berners-Lee: yet the article once again argues (seemingly incorrectly) that it was Marc and not Tim who introduced blue links: > Besides that, I was also bothered by the fact that even though I was able to determine that Mosaic was indeed the first browser to use blue hyperlinks, I was not much closer to determining why the hyperlinks themselves were blue.
