What were you doing 10 years ago?

It suddenly hit me.. 10 years ago was a year 1997. I think its when Google started. I heard it was possible to spam Infoseek to get like 30000 hits to your pages with banners and make zillions of money with like 1:30 conversions..

What were you doing during the beginning of Gold Rush?

Was just getting my start in the online porn industry.
The work was way harder to me. Just down loading or uploading took like forever. I don't know how I got anything done.

I had just started really using the internet in '97. Mostly chatting on Yahoo.

Oddly enough I was exposed to internet porn around the same time. I remember stumbling upon a site for "spermburpers" or some crap. A girl drowning in semen, with cocks all around her face...

you really have no idea how long way I have made during these years, from innovative seo through new technology company owner to some more serious projects now, this is really unbelievable when I think about it. When I was starting I would never think it will go that far with 'this Internet'

In 1997 I was running a fledging business on borrowed time. It was so bad that I probably would have had more cash if I'd gone on welfare. It was my first business so I made the classic mistake of not wanting to give up my baby, rather than realising it was a lost cause which was better off shut down. (Eventually I saw the light... but it was a few years later!!!)

Incidentally, falling into adult allowed me to repay all of the debts from that business in a timely manner.

Are people ussually 8 or so when they are in the fourth grade? I totally forget.

As for then I was shutting down my BBS for the most part and moving online. Move would not be complete for awhile though as I was first pre occupied with moving my BBS online and then setting it up as a portal/isp. That got Fubar real quick after a delay with MCI and a T1 line that never arrived and was sent to a brand new ISP litterally across the street from me after I had paid for it and waited months for installation.
