2001 was obviously a tough year, but there were bright spots in internet innovation: Wikipedia launched in January 2001, Wayback Machine in October, and iTunes and iPod both came out that year. Not to mention bloggers redesigning in Movable Type and other increasingly cool blog tools. I hope you enjoy the latest yearly wrapup on Cybercultural, my internet history website: https://cybercultural.com/p/internet-2001/

p.s. before you click thru, can you guess where the feature image is from? Comment if you know :)

What the Internet Was Like in 2001

Even in the middle of the dot-com bust in 2001, there are rays of hope: Wikipedia and the Wayback Machine launch, digital music turns legit with iTunes and the iPod, and blogging goes mainstream.
