One of the first email lists I was on was "What's New on the Web...", a list of new web sites. The list was probably pretty much complete, encapsulated in a weekly email list.

I'm re-watching Halt and Catch Fire season 4 now - they captured that early web period well. I think back to that time, I lived in San Francisco and worked at a software company in San Francisco. San Francisco was cool, and the epicenter of multimedia in tech. San Francisco was cool and the rest of the bay area was uncool. I wonder what would have happened if I'd decided to work outside of San Francisco in the uncool valley and gotten a job at Netscape.
