WWW Useless Pages

[edit]

Paul Phillips founded WWW Useless Pages or The Unless Pages in 1994.[177] It is perhaps the first site that showcased bad or eccentric websites and helped distribute early minor Internet memes and phenomena. It is now defunct.

WebCrawler

[edit]

WebCrawler is an early search engine for the Web and the first with full-text searching.[25] It was created by Brian Pinkerton, a doctoral candidate at the University of Washington. It launched in June 1994.[178]

Webmedia

[edit]

Webmedia is a London-based website design company founded by Steve Bowbrick and Ivan Pope. The domain name webmedia.com was registered on October 27, 1994. The website was launched in November 1994.[179]

Whitehouse.gov

[edit]

Whitehouse.gov is the official website of the White House. The Clinton administration launched it on October 20, 1994 to the public.

World-Wide Web Worm

[edit]

The World-Wide Web Worm (WWWW) was one of the first search engines for the World-Wide Web. It was created by Oliver McBryan at the University of Colorado and was announced in March 1994.[180]

XrayXcellence

XrayXcellence.dentistry.dal.ca (also viewed at bpass.dentistry.dal.ca) was created by Barry Pass, PhD, DDS, in June 1994, while he was a faculty member at Dalhousie University's School of Dentistry, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The website was active for approximately 6 years and provided educational and scholarly information and website links for dentistry, radiology and health physics. The site was accessed almost one-half million times, from every Internet serviced country, during the 5 years since its creation in 1994. In response to this web site on the WorldWideWeb - a paradigm shift in the dissemination of scholarly information - hundreds of global email inquiries every year were received from clinicians, scientists, students and the lay public with dental and medical questions. Frequently, medical questions resulted in appropriate referrals.

Yahoo!

[edit]

The web portal Yahoo! was started by Jerry Yang and David Filo as Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web.[181][25] It was a news site as well as a search engine and email provider.[36] It was later renamed Yahoo without the exclamation mark.

Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN)

[edit]

A website was created by Justin Paulson from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1994 to provide information on the conflict in the Chiapas region between the Mexican government and the Zapatista forces primarily in English[182] but later started posting information in Spanish at www.ezln.org.[183] The Zapatistas usage of the internet made them among the first in the world to use the internet for activism purposes.[184]
