Hello once again

I actually started this website back in 2005, but I would only use it sporadically, so finally I have decided to use it for good, and I set up a blog where I can share what I have learned about internet marketing.

I first got online back in 1994 when AOL was sending disks (not cds, but disks) to anyone who called their 1-800 number, and that is exactly what I did :)

As soon as I got my first AOL disk, I jumped to my Packard Bell Pentium I Pc, and loved the instant messaging that AOL used back then. Of course, AOL was only an online service company back then, and competed mainly with Prodigy - which today is non-existant (as far as I can tell).

After trying AOL, I asked myself, what else is there to try? So, I got my Packard Bell CDs, found CompuServe which I found really boring and ugly as I think it was mainly used by bored scientists, and also found a CD of a company called NETCOM. I run the CD, dialed up their number with my 14.4 modem, and got to a screen where I read "www" and as soon as I read that "www" I said to myself "This is for geeks" never knowing that was the World Wide Web which we now know simply as "The Web". :) Sad, funny, I don't know, but real...
