WebGuest Web Glossary - History


In December 1997, we launched the first version of the WebGuest Web Glossary.

The subtitle was "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About The Web (But Were Afraid To Ask)", a twisted paraphraze of the famous Woody Allen movie.

The WebGuest Web Glossary was spread over 27 (long) Web pages: 26 pages for each letter of the alphabet and one page for terms beginning with a number.

Unfortunately, by putting all our glossary entries on 27 Web pages, we made it easy for copycats to steal our content. Though all our pages (text and images) are protected by international copyrights, many unscrupulous Webmasters simply copied our entire glossary and put it on their Web site.

To avoid this, we removed our static pages, and in 2007, we launched the latest version of the WebGuest Web Glossary: a database-driven glossary with hundreds of Internet related terms and acronyms.

To give our visitors the best information they can get, we update this database daily.
