I just recently twittered: Random Fact: there were were only about 130 websites in 1993 and have more random info.
• The Web went publicly online posted by alt.hypertext (a newsgroup) (good explanation of hypertext) on August 6, 1991.

• Some historical hypertext milestones.

• First webcomic: Doctor Fun

• Wiki has a list of all the websites created before 1995.

My favorite (you have to wait for it to load) was my Feature, an interview with Gary Baseman. I used his illustrations and made this interactive sound enhanced flash animation for showcase the interview. It STILL works!
