The first attempt at a social graph?

I can't get it to display for more than a frame in the "web" configuration, everything is scrunched up in the corner. Anyone have better luck? I'm trying to get a screenshot but it's quite difficult.

*edit: got it! anyone sound familiar? http://i.imgur.com/6hKsLoJ.png

A touch worrying that the 'Gong' sound continues after closing the window..

This reminds me a lot of my angelfire page in that era, though a little more AOL-centric. The linked people applet is definitely interesting given how things panned out for him. Mine had a lot of physics and science-y stuff, so I begin to wonder how many other people have Angelfire/Geocities sites that predict their future lives.

I think the most interesting thing here is that this has a clear precursor to Facebook in it("The Web") but it was never brought up during the lawsuit w/ the Winklevoss twins.

BTW the counter seems to reset every time it hits 3,000 or thereabouts. I've refreshed a few times and seen it make the rounds.

I miss site counters... Said no one ever... Felt a bit nostalgic after I saw the ALL CAP HTML tags

I'm more impressed that angelfire still exists. Also AOL Progz? This is taking me back.

The counter shows only 210 people have been to it so far. Reallly cool find!

over 3,000 views now, and growing - which is surprising since there are no pictures of cats on the site.

In 1999 everybody used <HTML TAGS IN CAPITAL>, so its fake.
[+] pinoy|13 years ago|reply
Check out the <BODY> tag it's capitalized. The <html> tag and other tags are put there by angelfire.

I hope "the Vader Fader" makes it in to Facebook.
[+] rucker|13 years ago|reply
I can't figure out what that utility was supposed to do. What does it mean to "fade" message text? Blend it with the background color or something?

We all know "Zuck Fader" is better
