POPSThe Stories Behind 11 Famous Web Sites Too much to clip, but if you go to the source you can read about them all, and you can link to them. Of course I embellished, and added Clipmarks to the list. Where would this clip be without Clipmarks?! Oh, and the first thing was just a silly thing I clipped off of B3ta, it was not really supposed to be in this clip, but oh well.

POPSInefficiencies in Initialisms It's a shame (but no surprise) that English speakers in the United States can't arrive at some concurrence on a better way to verbalize " w w w " than by speaking out each letter. I am personally a fan of "tri-dub" or "three dub" or "triple w" , or even something more daringly imaginative, like "prefix web" . Perhaps I'll just pick one and start using it... and maybe, just maybe, people will come around.
