The best of the web pages

Excerpt translated from google blogoscoped, translated article link.

1. The oldest webpage. Born in the year 1991, created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the British scientist known as the father of the WWW. It was he who established the most fundamental rules of the web; otherwise, there would be no internet today.2. The last webpage. Purely a joke, probably made by someone who deeply detests the internet.3. The smallest webpage. It only contains an external linked GIF image that is 18x18 pixels in size. After clicking to enter, it still shows a 18x18 image. Surprisingly, it turns out to be a blog.4. The largest webpage. Extremely large! It was made by google blogoscoped itself, and it reads: "Welcome to the Largest Web Page in the World. This page is extremely large, as you have probably noticed."5. The least useful webpage. There's a big button on it saying, "Nothing will happen if you press it." Haha, this button links back to itself, so no matter how many times you click it, nothing miraculous will occur. Interestingly, this webpage was built in 1994, and every year tens of thousands of people click this button hoping something will happen. One person clicked it over a thousand times in one go but still got no response. To this day, people continue to click this button with great enthusiasm, showing just how boring the world can be!6. The ugliest website. Deservedly so, it features a picture of a dinosaur, super glaring colors, and misspelled words everywhere. Wow, the world is indeed boring.7. The slowest website. Surprisingly, it’s the famous digg.com. Digg is indeed slow, but not the slowest, and its access speed has improved significantly recently. Plus, they now have a Chinese beta version, so I must protest on its behalf.8. The most boring website. This blog is so boring it makes you bleed from boredom. Here's an excerpt: "Some pencils were scattered on my desk, I picked them up one by one and put them back into the drawer where I keep my pencils..." And it doesn’t stop there. Many people follow suit in their boredom, leaving hundreds of comments on each dull post, with some reaching over a thousand! Alas, how boring!
