There were implicit privacy concerns that led to structural and legislative changes. A time when there was a chatroom for almost every interest. The goal is to tap into the vast reservoir of people we don’t know, a critical virtue of the Internet in its early days.Īnyone that remembers the early days of the Internet will fondly reminisce about the time when Yahoo Messenger ruled the super information highway.
