Shantell Powell<p>Mahir produced one of the first viral websites. I remember this from the early days of the internet, and Borat is 100% a rip-off of Mahir.

Shantell Powell<p>I remember some of the file-trading services I used online around 1995. At that point, the best sounding music I’d heard on the Internet were shitty midi files. There were CDs and DVDs to be found, if you knew where to look. These secret trading groups listed stuff you owned, and stuff you were looking for. My favourite was a rare files group. There were so many things I wanted to hear/see, but I never seemed to have anything they wanted in trade. I finally made a trade: I made a cassette dub of a William S. Burroughs radio release and traded it for a shitty VHS bootleg of the BBC production of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere. When I got the VHS tape in the mail, it was so staticky that it was barely watchable. But I was happy to get to see it. <br>It’s funny how different it is, now. I kinda miss the bartering days of the mid-90s. Bartering is much more interpersonal than just having a Netflix account, and the communities and web rings for esoteric groups were more of a tight-knit cohort of friends. The Internet was a much smaller place back then. <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThrowbackThursday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThrowbackThursday</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/EarlyInternet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EarlyInternet</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FileSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FileSharing</span></a></p>
