One thing I just don’t get about the revisionist history of the web that’s so en vogue at the moment:

Do they just expect all of us middle-aged web users to pretend that forums weren’t huge years before Web 2.0?

I mean, why make up something so trivially and obviously untrue?

@baldur One word: Usenet.

One of my earliest exposures to the internet was a BBS that turned out to be just a gateway to a particular Usenet group.
