Looks interesting, but it won’t stop loading for drag.
If you’re curious:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombo.com
Back in 1999 a lot of websites would consist of a full-page Adobe Flash program (something that no longer works in modern browsers) a bit like how a lot of websites now are basically JavaScript apps. Because the speed of internet connections was so low back then it could take a long time for those flash apps to load all their content, so while you were waiting they might play a little animation or something that served as an “intro”.
Zombo com was a parody of those websites. There was no actual content, it just played a really really long intro that consistented of colorful blinking circles and audio of a guy saying variations of “welcome to zombo com, you can do anything here, anything at all” over and over again.
It finally loaded. This website is amazing.
Ajacam.
A woman set up a 24 hour video camera on her life - hardcore sex and all - almost 20 years ago. If I didn’t have a few screen captures, I’d doubt it ever existed.
Does it count if it no longer exists? I miss plug.dj
No one cares to make a similar website or experience unfortunately.
I know there was still a similar thing running for the /r/trees subreddit last I look. It was /r/treesradio if I remember
French History blog. Been reading it for years.
Y’all know Neocities.org, but it deserves a mention. It’s literally THE site for unseen sites.
I’ve never heard of this, near name, obvious plug at good ol geocities
Jiggmin.com may it rest in peace. Had a ton of flash games developed by one guy that I was a big fan of, like a platform racer- a sort of Mario-style platformer where you could actually build your own levels and play multi-player.
Anybody else remember Turntable.fm? It’s gone now but it was so much fun. Literally anyone could hop on the virtual turntables and drop a set (or just play individual songs if they didn’t have the skillset).
Don’t know why it shut down but it probably had something to do with copyright. But for a brief moment it was some of the most fun I ever had on the internet.
That sounds really cool. Seems like something that Spotify or Tidal could have as a feature, since all the music will already be licensed.
I wish they would. It was really neat cause the website would give everyone an avatar and stick them in a virtual nightclub. So as you were performing, you could see the crowd get bigger and everyone’s reactions to your set. It was the closest you could get to feeling like a real DJ without owning a VR headset.
Yeah, that sounds awesome. Would love something like that.
I use the calculator to compare tire OD when shopping for new ones or changing sizes.
