RT @nick_routledge: @culturaltutor 1/ Memories! I conceived and curated World 3 (launched in, was it, 1995?) the first website devoted to website design, which engaged the contributions of many of the world's leading hypertext philosophers and web designers. We got most of them! There weren't many in those days!

World 3 is about many things but, fundamentally, it is a space about how to use space to communicate. In it you'll find the thinking and experiments of some of the brightest hypermedia theorists and practitioners on the Internet. The World Wide Web marries the young technologies of the Internet and hypermedia - a global network and the ability to build linked structures of information of many kinds. The potential of hypermedia is enormous: it is capable of generating connections which could lead to richer communication than any other available tool, and there is a powerful synergy between hypermedia and the Internet. As the medium matures, the emphasis moves from technology to creativity. Artists, poets, designers, and many others are starting to explore the possibilities; companies are beginning to use the medium to project images of themselves... Contributors to World 3 have one thing in common, whatever their various objectives: a concern about using the new medium eloquently.
@albertoarenaza @hrheingold Fabulous, Howard. The two men were so greatly influential to me, too. Always recall Ted coming to a World3 party in LA in ‘95, amidst the first wave of SoCal web-heads. So delightful to see him related to as a total rockstar, there. Recognition! world3.scribble.com/
