PC World recently published an entertaining and thoughtful piece on the 16 Greatest Moments in Web History. It includes The Drudge Report breaking the Monica Lewinsky story, the introduction of webcams, MySpace and even my favorite, Craigslist. Rounding out the top three items on the list are: "When Sergey met Larry," in reference to Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page's first meeting at Stanford University; "Day one of irrational exuberance," in reference to the day Netscape's IPO created the dot-com frenzy — in 1995 the company's shares zoomed from $28 to $75 before settling back down to $58 at the session's close; And of course, "World wide wonder," in reference to December 25, 1990, or the day the Web came online. It may be a chicken or egg question, but what do you think is the most important day in web history?

1It's definetly between Google and Geeksugar!
2I think when the web first started and google (and of course Geeksugar)!!!
3i am googlemaniac! =)
4GeekSugar's launch of course!
But the www launch isn't too bad either.
5I picked netscape because that was my first exposure to the internet at the community college library!!
6I think the first time a computer ever connected to the internet was the best moment in history! Anddd GEEKSUGAH
7Well, the www launch is undoubtedly a huge moment in web history, but damn, Google changed the way we browse the internet completely. And their many tools, you can't live without it.
I love Google.
8What are those other sites? google? is that a word you just made up? the only one I go to is GeekSugar!
9Duh, Geeksugar!
10I had to go with the WWW as none of that other stuff would exist without it although I am quite fond of Geeksugar.com and that fab chick who runs it
11Nothing would exist without WWW!
12Go Geeksugar Go!
Google comes in at a close second though
13The Drudge Report breaking the Lewinsky story.
14That was the first little wave in turning the tide away from traditional, "dinosaur" media power and giving regular people a lot more clout.
I think the greatest moment in the history of internet, is when I got connected
15Go Geeksugar! Best site ever!
(Google's pretty great too, though
)
