web

A web used to mean something a spider spun, but more often today (especially on Technorati), it is more likely to refer to the Internet. Sometimes referred to as the World Wide Web (WWW for short), the Web is a system of hypertext documents accessed from the Internet. The World Wide Web was started by a British scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee, while working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee recommended building a “web of nodes” to store pages viewed by browsers on a network. His concept was released in 1992. The WWW is credited for creating international standards for domain names and HTML code. This concept is now credited with making it easy to place information on the Internet via a user-friendly format. Because of this, the word “Web” is now frequently associated with (or even as) the Internet in popular use.

Technorati, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, YouTube, eBay and Twitter probably wouldn't be here today if the Web was never developed. E-Commerce (or the ease of shopping from home) wouldn’t be here, either. The Web has enabled a lot of changes to occur in our everyday lives.
