Where were you in…
1985? Or more specifically, where were you on March 15, 1985?
That’s the day that symbolics.com was registered as a domain. Today, symbolics.com remains an active website, the oldest continuously running website on the internet.
Do you know which other websites were registered in 1985 and are still up and running? Do you know what sites are on the list of the 100 oldest currently registered domains? Well, wonder no longer. You can see the complete list and check out those sites now. Although the list was last updated in 2003, most of those sites are still around, even if some are now re-directed to other sites or have changed hands.
Quite interesting, nevertheless.
