📧 Years before Google, “Gmail” lived on Garfield․com: fan email with @​gmail․garfield․com addresses for anyone thinking I hate Mondays. It vanished like a pan of lasagne into Garfield’s belly… but its pawprints can still be seen on the #WaybackMachine ⤵️ 🐈 By May 2001, it was replaced by @​e-garfield․com via Everyone․net. Google didn’t adopt the name until April 2004. #Wayback1T #InternetHistory
Libraries matter. Access matters. After years of legal battles, the Internet Archive is still here—and still fighting for a world where everyone can read, learn, and remember. @Ars Technica tells the story:
