WWW Celebrates Sweet Sixteen

The World Wide Web turned 16 today! According to the timeline on the W3.org site the first web page was created in 1990.

The first web browser - or browser-editor rather - was called WorldWideWeb as, after all, when it was written in 1990 it was the only way to see the web. Much later it was renamed Nexus in order to save confusion between the program and the abstract information space (which is now spelled World Wide Web with spaces).
