When you first started using the internet, what do you remember surfing first?

When I first started using the internet, I began surfing and looking for sites to earn from home. I no longer have to surf and look for those kinds of things because I finally found some decent paying sites that are free and not a scam.

The very first website that I surfed was elvispresley.com. I'm a big Elvis fan and I thought that would be a nice way to christen my new computer! Among some of the other sites I frequented were smashingpumpkins.com and hotmail.com

I first got a computer and internet service way back on New Years Eve 1991. I had also been clean and sober a few months only at that time. The first place I surfed was sober sites. I found a great site that I still visit now days after nearly 17 years of sobriety and being in the A.A. program. I also got into the chat rooms of AOL mainly one called Friends of Bill W. He along with Dr Bob were the founders of A.A. back in the early 30's. I love sober sites where I can chat and meet other recovering alkies/addicts etc. Thanks. Heres the link to the one site I love. http://soberchat.com/ HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Seriously when I first started using it, the net was all bulitin boards. So we hung around anything that looked intresting. Most of the sites are now defunct because the whole net has changed.

Hmmmm.....havent thought about this in years, but a very thought provoking question. Seems to me it was like 2000 when we got our first "family computer" (yeah we were a little behind on the times) We got it as a family christmas gift, so on christmas eve we unboxed it and plugged it in. I had never been on the internet before because I was a stay at home mom, ha just a little sheltered and out of the loop. I can remember staying up all night trying to get it connected to aol and eventually did. The first place I went was to a family oriented chat room....probably one headed "stay at home moms" Mind you chat rooms were way different back then, people actually chatted about wholesome things without all the spam, booters and such....Man those were the good days!

I surfed to online games. And yes I still go there. I enjoy playing games.

National geographic channel has been my passion for a long time.Having read the articles and enjoyed the scintillating images since my childhood I always wanted to watch that channel in my computer.I still remember the first time I went to a browsing center and sat there for a longtime unable to log onto NGC and felt a little hesitant to ask anyone how to browse.Thanks for the wonderful discussion.

Great discussion. I remember my first computer and how excited I was. I stayed up til 2am surfing. I was looking for work at home jobs and have been looking every since. The internet taught me real quick about scams because I bought everything I could get my hands on trying to make money. Took me 6 months before I realized I had a pile of junk and still had a day job. OUCH! I am still researching work at home jobs but have never given any more of my hard earned money away.

When I went to college I needed a computer for typing about 10 years ago. My first site was MSN gaming zone-I love spades. I still play there when their program works correctly. And then Yahoo mail. Ive never found any other email program I like as well.

oh well ... ages ago. the very first website i came into was yahoo. and it was all because i signed up for the free email. and it just went on and on. link after link. brought me to different websites. learned how to use the search engines. it was more of an exploration. discovering new cool sites.

I think the first thing I did online was learn to use the email address that my girlfriend at the time had set up for me. Then, she showed me how to get into one of the chat rooms. I think it was hotelchat or something like that. That was a long time ago...almost 10 years. A lot has changed since then...

When I first started using the internet I remember always being on AOL. I have no idea what I did on there for so many hours a day I just remember being there. I do remember always getting yelled at to get off the internet cause at the time we only had one phone line that didn't have call waiting or anything else. I don't use AOL anymore but I know my mom still does. LOL shows how ancient it is...

yes i was like 11 and all i did was get in chat rooms

I think it was AOL. then hotmail.com then when yahoo came i never got a chance to visit those old sites.

it was taught by my elder brother. he wanted to craete a mail id for me. I surfed rediffmail for the first time. made a mail Id for myself.

I remember my very first internet surfing experience all too well. It was at that time in middle school in the mid to late 1990s, I had taken a class on computers and the internet, and I distinctly remember using a Gateway 2000 Desktop PC in the classroom, and the presentation in the classroom took place in the dark with the windows shaded and a school projector turned on and hooked to a computer to show the screen at the same time. I still remember it like it was yesterday. Now that i think about it, this took place in 1997! Yes! I definitely remember that this took place in 1997! After the lecture and presentation, the very first site that I visited in on my very first trip to the Internet was at the American Broadcasting Corporation, ABC.com. I liked watching Family Matters, you know, the one with that comic relief nerd Steve Urkel, especially during TGIF on ABC. So I went to ABC.com, and I headed over to the Family Members section of the website. It really felt good as a wonderful, new experience for me. It's been about 10 years since then, but it was a good memory that I still had even today.

Well, I was a kid back then and I really love to surf Barbie's site. Of course, I was a girl who adores and loves Barbies. I rarely surf it again nowadays, especially that there is no point in surfing there again and I'm very busy.

I was so addicted to the net when I first got onto it. I think I wanted to look up all the animation, clip art sites. I'm still totally addicted to PPS sites.

I think I surfed about anime. anipike.com, most likely. I don't go there anymore because there's more content in other sites.

This is moment in time!!! Well i guessed the first website was Hotmail.com. The most popular free email services at that time, long before yahoo.com came to the net. hmmm.... i wonder what happened to hotmail.com now?? any ideas??
