Description
This is the latest incarnation of a site that dates back to 1993, before there was such a thing as a World Wide Web. Originally, I posted papers and reports on a public FTP server and later on a community "gopher" site as a convenient way of sharing information with peers and kindred spirits.
In those early days, the Net consisted mostly of "dot-org's" and "dot-edu's" -- people in the organizational and academic worlds. "Dot-com's" were still uncommon, even sneered at by some. The idea that commercial entities would stake out a presence on the net seemed to us a very ominous development at the time. Most of us were academics, writers, independent media producers, computer professionals, community organizers, government employees, etc. We saw the net as a promising new tool for information sharing, public discourse and community building. E-commerce was the last thing on our minds when we spoke of the "digital revolution." (I wrote a short piece on this in 1996 called "Cyberspace and the New Consciousness")
When the Web began to take off in the mid-1990s, I put up my first bona fide Web site at http://www.west.net/~insight/london. In addition to my writings, I posted program listings from my weekly radio productions. I was happy to get four or five hundred hits a week. That later grew to an average of around 3,000 a week.
