A stroll down web memory lane. Someone has compiled a list of top-100 web moments. Funny, I've forgotten most of this stuff, which was probably for the best. Seriously, I wonder if the best days of the web are far behind us. Blogs have gone mainstream, P2P users are getting sued, new exciting technologies and companies (come on, I'll just say it - google) are more hype than anything else, etc. Supposedly the next big thing was SOAP, and now AJAX. Of course, in retrospect denouncing a medium as being dead is incredibly silly. How many decades has rock been dead? Or the short story? Or the sitcom? If anything, the huge amount of players usually means that no one item like Mahir or Sissyfight will float to the top for so long. The larger the medium the more, but shorter lived, the fads.
