I was idly following links from site to site when one linked to the MicroSoft site. I noticed a link at the top saying A Brief History of Microsoft on the Web. So if you are interested as to how the 4th largest web site out there got started, read it.
There are even screen shots of the early site layouts. I really liked this one. It states that people with browsers that don't support images should follow another link. Man, that was only in '94. Look how far we have come in the last few years.
And talk about traffic:
"Web site traffic was climbing at a rate of about 10 percent per month. To give you an idea of what that means, the daily site traffic of 35,000 in mid-1996 has grown to 5.1 million visitors today."
Damn... this is one healthy ammount. Finally, I leave you with this final statment about the Microsoft site:
"What will the future of Microsoft on the Web look like? We have a few ideas on the subject. Check back in about 50, er, six years for a full report."
