From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mjsix is the username for writer and humourist Marc Williams. In 1997 as part of a pitch for the UK soft drinks brand "Tango", Marc used the word 'Interweb' to imply a lack of comprehension in the digital sphere. The plan was that Tango would run a 'million hits' charity appeal and request people 'log up to our interweb site'. Marc foolishly kept no record of this early example of the use of 'Interweb' (which may not be the first, but was certainly up there). In order to secure his spot on the podium of internet history, Marc is now promoting the adopton of the phrase, 'Interpipe station' to denote a similarly over-enthusiastic desire to imply that you understand digital technology.
