I've always loved that World Wide Web is faster to say than WWW. I never say it, but it's interesting!

- LMMojo 3y agoYes, 3 syllables versus 9 syllables. Funny, isn't it?
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoWe entertained "dub-three" in those days, but it didn't catch on. The nickname, I mean. I worked as a consultant connecting businesses to the Internet, and boss asked me if I thought this WWW thing was here to stay, or a fad. I replied, "meh, it's a fad" because I had been underwhelmed by its implementation, compared to some mind-blowing infrastructure systems, GUIs and wonders like the MBONE (talk about fads). I believe that the tipping point for WWW is when it was realized as a platform for delivering applications (SaaS). Once that angle became apparent, all resources were expended on making that a reality.
