Yet, we have much to gain by not exclusively positing social media platforms as a 21st-century phenomenon. Through case studies of two commercially sponsored web projects from the mid-1990s—Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab’s Day in the Life of Cyberspace and Rick Smolan’s 24 Hours in Cyberspace—this article examines how notions of social and publics were imagined and designed into the web at the start of the dot-com boom. In lieu of a discourse of versions, I draw on Lucy Suchman’s trope of configuration as an analytic tool for rethinking web historiography. By tracing how cultural imaginaries of the Internet as a public space are conjoined with technological artifacts (content management systems, templates, session tracking, and e-commerce platforms) and reconfigured over time, the discourses of “read-only publishing” and the “social media revolution” can be reframed not as exclusively oppositional logics, but rather, as mutually informing the design and development of today’s social, commercial, web. Keywords social media, web history, web 1.0, web 2.0, public, read-only For a decade now, the participatory potential of social media Yet, a closer examination of web history suggests the has become synonymous with Web 2.0 platforms like boundaries separating 1.0 and 2.0 eras may do more to dis- Facebook and Twitter that facilitate the sharing of user-gen- tort our understandings of cultural and technological change.

This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks. In 1982 the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a world-wide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced.

  • 8 Jorn Barger and Dave Winer: Self-Knowledge, Integrity, and Transcendentalism
    Weblogs 1994 – 2000: A Genealogy Rudolf Ammann A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Department of Information Studies University College London September 2012 [revised version of 8 May 2013] 2 I, Rudolf Ammann, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated. 3 Abstract Using extensive fieldwork in the online archival record, this thesis ac- counts for the descent and emergence of the weblog as a digital genre during its formative period up to the year 2000. The work examines the weblog’s process of genre formation as diffusion of innovation within a heterogeneous discourse network. It describes this process as a series of several consecutive and cumulative reinterpretations of the emerging genre’s form and intended purpose, effected for the most part by the most central actors in the network. 4 Acknowledgements This work owes a big debt of gratitude to Melissa Terras and Claire Warwick for their expert guidance. At various points, Matthew Kirschenbaum, David Nicholas, Julianne Nyhan and Mike Thelwall provided valuable assistance as well. Anonymous reviewers and delegates of the Hypertext 2009 and the Applications of Social Network Analysis 2010 conferences helped improve some of the materials presented in this thesis. This thesis benefited from correspondence with Jorn Barger, Mark Bernstein, Steve Bogart, Dan Gillmor, the late Chris Gulker, Robert Hooker, Dan Lyke, Pete Prodoehl, Scott Rosenberg, Edward Viel- metti, and Dave Winer, amongst many others. David Kornblith and Frank Bennett promptly and efficiently solved the problems caused by the excessive demands my work placed on Zotero’s citation handling.

  • Interop Trade Show, Carl Malamud‘S Internet 1996 Exposition, and the Politics of Internet Commercialization]
    Please do not cite or circulate without permission of the author Internet Commercialization and the Politics of Global Computer Networks Paper presented at MiT7 Unstable Platforms: The Promise and Peril of Transition, May 13-15, 2011, MIT. [Extracted from Master‘s Thesis: The World in the Network: The Interop Trade Show, Carl Malamud‘s Internet 1996 Exposition, and the Politics of Internet Commercialization] By most estimates, networked communications is at a critical juncture. In the U.S., debates focus on the need the shore up lagging broadband infrastructure and on the need to ensure that the so-called last mile of connectivity into homes and businesses. Globally, the situation appears more dramatic as countries and commercially operated platforms prove willing to ―switch off‖ the internet or severely limit its availability. One way to better understand these struggles is to return to an earlier chapter of Internet connectivity struggles. This study will examine the largely overlooked history of the ―Interop‖ computer-networking trade show, and argue that it would prove critical to the Internet‘s global physical expansion and commercial success. Assembled by a core group of former Arpanet researchers, Interop suggests that the success of the Internet as a global communications medium was not only a technical achievement, as is commonly framed, but also the result of organizational accomplishments. These activities helped the emerging network accommodate powerful commercial interests as well as the larger economic and technological forces sweeping the industrialized world. This study will also examine an affiliated ―global‖ trade show, the Internet 1996 World Exposition. Through that event, technologist Carl Malamud drew on the rhetoric of turn-of-the-century world‘s fairs to demonstrate the value of faster networks as well as argue for a conception of ―the commons‖ that could ideally be served by the rapidly privatizing Internet.
