Internet Firsts
Cleaning email archives over the weekend, came across emails from my first email account on usa.net in 2000 – the first time I got access to internet (though I had access to a PC since 1993 I believe – MS DOS, no HDD). Took me back to exploring my firsts on internet and here is list of what I can recall –
| Service | First Used |
|---|---|
| Email Account | usa.net (@netaddress.com) (2000) |
| Chat service | Yahoo Chat (2001) |
| Search / Directory service | Yahoo Directory (2001) |
| Blogging | Blogspot (2004-05) |
| Streaming (audio) | Yahoo Launchcast (2004) |
| Streaming (video) | YouTube (?) |
| Internet Banking | ICICI (2004) |
| Online Shopping | deals2buy.com (2004) |
| Social Media | Orkut (2003) |
| Cloud Platform | AWS (~2010) |
Will add if I recall any others.
