The World's First Banner Ad

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the it-didn't-need-to-blink dept.

An anonymous reader submitted a link to what they claim is the the internet's first banner ad. It comes from 1994 HotWired, paid for by AT&T. It's ugly, but no animation, no popups. It makes me a little nostalgic.

    Yes and Yes.

    Taco sold out along time ago. We all knew it was goign to happen, even in the early days, but we figured there would be an alternitive for when he did.

    The problem is there is not one.

    digg? No fuckign way. digg is nothing but a glorified link site with comments form the peanut gallery.

    kuro5hin? No fuckign way. Rusty and his ultra biased fanbois cna all go fuck themselves.

    Where I ask you? Where else but slashdot can I read old news adn post false or misinformed comments and have people praise me as an OSS mesiah.
