Paleo-Internet videos digitized
Andy Baio has a new hobby: hunting down VHS tapes about the Internet from the early-to-mid 1990s, digitizing them and putting them online as historical curios. Here's a 32 minuted video called "Internet Power!" from 1995 -- as Andy notes, "while most of these are pretty corny -- think Gabe and Max's Internet Thing -- they also inadvertently captured pieces of the web that don't exist anywhere else. The Internet Archive's earliest snapshots were in late 1996, so anything before that is extremely sparse."

"A Web site is like a book that is divided into chapters. By clicking on the hypertext links, you choose which pages you want to view in the book. A Home Page is like the first page of the book, with a Table of Contents and general introduction into what is contained in the site."

Whoah...I remember Nintendo.com in 1995. Grey backgrounds and all. I wonder what people will think of Youtube in 13 years?
This may be useful to people who never got on the web... This is stuff that my dad would actually find useful and novel.
Even though i do not like the old Yahoo logo, I am Sad to see Yahoo move to the more coporate logo of today.
