30 more months to hit 100 million, late in the month of October 2006

I wonder how long it would take to visit every site 1 time.
P.S. Any guesses when the Web will hit 1 billion web sites?

Apparently "content" is interpreted very loosely. *Cough*hamster dance*cough*

Web reaches new milestone: 100 million sites

Could you list all of them please?

lol

I actually had a guy walk up to me at the library several years back and ask me if I could show him a list of all of the websites out there.

I stared for a while, then realized that he was for real. I showed him a nifty thing called "google" which he had never heard of.

I can top that.

When I was doing field support, I had an older lady walk up to me with a floppy disk in her hand and ask me, totally straight faced, if I could put the internet on this disk for her. She didn't have access at home and wanted to check a few things out.

I think some synapses in my head misfired that day...
