Ten Years Of bbc.co.uk
- 26 Nov 07, 11:22 AM
I am very old. As you get older, time speeds up and your memory goes. In fact, I can鈥檛 remember a time that bbc.co.uk didn鈥檛 exist. But I鈥檓 reliably informed that December 15th will be the tenth birthday of bbc.co.uk (or "91热爆 Online", as it was then called).
So, to celebrate the 91热爆鈥檚 achievements online over those ten years (and to jog my memory), the Internet Blog has commissioned (occasional 91热爆 man and curator of the excellent ) to write a series of blog posts. Martin has done lots of web work for the 91热爆 over the years. His posts will look at various aspects of the development of the 91热爆鈥檚 web services. You can read them, and the other anniversary posts, here, and we'll also list them below as they go up.
I鈥檓 also hoping for contributions from key 91热爆 executives giving their personal memories, and some juicy glimpses behind the scenes as the 91热爆鈥檚 web offer evolved.
And memory can play tricks. So please do comment on anything you read on the posts, add your own perspectives and reminiscences, and suggest anything you鈥檇 like to see covered.

Just a nit, 15th December.
Is there a version online of how the homepage of the 91热爆 site looked on the very first day?
