A new milestone for the Web
November 2nd, 2006 // 1:11 pm @ Amar
Just started the day with Techmeme and was plesantly surprised and nostalgic with this article over at CNN. The Web reached 100 million domain name sites. I built my first website in 1995 when the internet first came to India in a mass scale. Have gone thru various websites and projects during this time and it is really nice to see that the web has grown to 100 million. But sadly, most of them are registered by link popularity and domain name sellers. There seems to be 50% active sites out of them, and the rest are all owned by people who either want to get rich quick by selling good domain names at a premium, or fool google into making their active site popular. Somehow all these have made the web experience a bit painful. Has anyone tried to register a domain name and found that it is near to impossible to get a decent domain name free. And most of the names do not have active websites under them. It takes me less time to ready a small website than to find a good active domain name for my website. It took me over a month to find www.reviewlibrary.com and i can tell you that the experience is not at all very pleasant.
Anyways, congrats to each and everyone who participated in making the web a phenomenal success, and bring it from 1200 bauds to super fast broadbands.
