Hello World Wide Web Enthusiasts -
Thank you for sharing your passion here through your projects and
progress exploring the early web! I've had fun seeing what you folks
have been making.
I began writing online in January 1994, when I started a range of
online experiments to see what kind of personal intimacy I could
foster with strangers through HTML. I took notes at
http://links.net/, calling my site Justin's Links from the
Underground.
Now I'm putting together a documentary covering 20 years of personal
publishing. Here's a mailing list and trailer: http://20links.vhx.tv/
I've put about 9 months in on the project, and the current draft is
about 40 minutes long. I want to finish this "director's cut" version
to release free on the web. But I've got two things I need to resolve
before I can share it. One of them you might be able to help with -
HELP ME if you remember Justin's Links:
I'm looking for someone who might have seen "Justin's Links from the
Underground" or "Justin's Links" in the 1990s. I'd like to make a
short video with your recollection of what made my site interesting in
the context of the moment.
WebCultures seems like an ideal place to make this request; a support
group for web historians. If none of this rings a bell, or you have
questions, please enjoy a blog entry which might offer more context or
distracting links:

or drop me a line!
Either way, I look forward to sharing this film with you folks when
it's done. If you teach the early web I hope this material might help
your efforts!
Cheers,
Justin
