So so psyched about Main Accounts: The Story of MySpace podcast with @jomc. The latest ep is all about MySpace Music, drawing connections to fandom, Napster, stand-up comedy, the Iraq War, bandwidth constraints, link rot, DIY archives.

Also, legit LOL at ~"the Ed Hardy generation"~ 🌹🗡️💀👖👼

Inspired by the last few months on fedi, three provocations about (mis)remembering Eternal September:

1️⃣ AOL's gateway didn't open in Sept 1993 (it was Feb 1994)
2️⃣ AOL was not the only service to frustrate USENET (people grumbled about FidoNet, CompuServe, etc)
3️⃣ USENET of 1994 was hardly a utopia (the hostility to AOL users far outweighed the disruption they caused)

This is just a kernel of an idea. Happy to hear your thoughts!

The latest issue of the journal of Internet Histories features all six finalists for the Early Career Researcher Award. Truly exciting work >> new areas of inquiry, creative methods, novel sources.

Special shout out to Kieran Hegarty for the award-winning article, "The invention of the archived web: Tracing the influence of library frameworks on web archiving infrastructure."
