Happy Birthday Salon
Today marks the eighth anniversary of Salon.com. Executive Editor Gary Kamiya remembers "a tiny office, a vast Web void, and bragging rights for anyone who got 100 readers.""The online world has come of age along with us -- and shaken out, alas, almost all feisty, independent publications. We have gone from being a sleepy literary and cultural review to a daily news magazine....
"And we have survived -- a little battered, but still here, and still considering ourselves the luckiest people in the world for getting to go to work every day and write and publish the stories that we want to, that we think are important and fun and crazy and sad and different, and that make a difference."
Here is an archived shot of Salon's first home page, from Nov. 20, 1995. Wow.
