Online flashback into the 20th century

»One of the internet characteristics: it converts 25-years-old to millionairs while 45-years-old get veterans.« Christian Ankowitsch, 2006

The four websites and contents made by beewee linked on the left side are snapshots from the years 1996 to 1999.

The webpages are nearly the original ones, only minimal adjustments have been made. These snap-shots don't demand not in the least to be complete, correct, relevant, far less up-to date.

Just have fun and enjoy time traveling to the early online years in Germany!

beewee's very first website.

Jumping-off point was my first web journey in April 1995, heart of a
Mac MAGAZIN cover story.

Mac MAGAZIN Web Site ceased to exist in December 1996, at the same time like the printed version of the magazine.

The first version of »beewee«.

I'm afraid it's a little bit strange and boring without knowledge of the german language, right?!
Sorry about that! ;-}

This version of the »ARD Website« was the second one, after a kind of showcase debut site in September 1996.

From January 1997 until December 1999 beewee did the entire HTML coding and webmaster tasks.
Afterwards he maintained the »Korrespondentenwelt« – the portal site of the net of ARD correspondents all over the world – until December 2005.

The old external links are only documented (see mouse over for former links), hence disabled.

ARD-Online-Kanal
Status: April 1999

Museum Intro Page

This flash demo, built by <e>werk, was an attempt to show the status and the potential of an interactive tv application, one and a half year after the prototype started.

ARD-Online-Kanal was meant to be the »avantgarde« in converging television and internet. Actually it was, but unfortunately nearly no one could see it in the absence of open tv and, later, MHP capable terminal devices.

The old tv box around the flash demo is just an illustration, later added by beewee. ;-)
