Imagine the internet where you browsed the web in a terminal using Lynx. My first year online was through a shell account at Netcom. I joined Earthlink in 1995 to get graphical access and 100k of space in which to publish my own site.

Most of the content is fan-submitted, and at least in the early years, it wasn't edited for grammar, spelling, or punctuation. I can't call out any off the top of my head, but there are some plot summaries and biographies that make my inner English major cringe.

What do you mean you are not using telnet & "electronic mail"? I am still scared of IRC & Slack is just the ICQ logo. 🤣
"Got a CompuServe disk" but it am not sure if it is working.

These are things of Greg's era (trying to trigger memories).
My question: What is the worst thing about IMDB?

Lol. I can imagine you wishing it away.
I vaguely remember. They seem more agent/team/pro now. The detail is insane, I don't see the chance of another site breaking that moat.
Do you see IMDB moving in to online video as a core focus? (maybe it has already).
I left in 2005 and the closest I come to insider info these days is reading their founder's posts on Facebook.
But they did recently start an online streaming service called FreeDive.

Thanks, That's a while, its refined but not big changes from what I have seen.
How are you finding life as AWS? 😃
I find it rewarding.
