It's the INTERNET, not InterWEB!
 

INTERNET dammit!

almost as good as people referring to surfing the internet as

"emailing"

which one?

someone's watching canadian tv comdey sitcoms...........

They have the Internet on computers now?

I love the interweb

where the hell did interweb come from anyway? I thought it was just a joke.

Calling it the interweb is more fun though. :winkwink:

I know there are some rumors on the internets.

Well than what the hell is the Information Super Highway????? What is a Super Highway? What makes it so super? Does it drve for you???



BTW, this thread is FUCKING RETARDED!:winkwink:

hi Homer

Somebody please ask Al Gore for a ruling. Since he did invent the "interweb".

If you think about it, calling it the Interweb kindof makes sense. Here's why:

The Internet is simply the hardware backbone that connects computers in a vast network.

The World Wide Web is what most people are talking about when they discuss the internet though.

The Internet itself isn't very interesting without the World Wide Web.

So if you combine the words "Internet" and "World Wide Web", you get "Interweb"

Welcome to dumbassland

Population... you

Explain

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Why does it bother you so much that I'm right? :winkwink:

When people first get online, they soon learn about two terms that get used a lot:

1. The Internet

2. The World Wide Web

Since the two words tend to be used interchangeably, it's not hard to understand why people would combine the two words to form the word "Interweb"

:glugglug

:thumbsup

yeh, people are using the internet as a catch-all word these days, but it's not entirely accurate. But unless people know the history of the internet, it really doesn't matter anyways.

So, can I buy this interweb thang at the Wal-mart or the Big K?

Will I need one of them thare smartypants tech professionals in the photo department to help installs it on my 'puter?

i don't think it matters either way anyway. Unless you are taking a history course, o'course

I think I saw the interweb in the sale flyer at Super Target today. :Graucho

first time I saw the term "interweb" was on Cliff Yablonski's site...but I'm sure it was around before then....

It IS a joke. I think someone's not getting it though..

The internets as bush said

I think the "interweb" people are also the ones that believe they always have to put www in front of their email address. Like if their email addy is [email protected] for some reason...when someone asks them what their email address is they say [email protected]

The first place I can remember hearing it was in the Money Good, Napster Bad flash videos in 99 or 2000. The second one I believe with Lars Ulrich and James playing cops looking for kids downloading their songs off the interweb.
