In today's world of widespread IMs, does anyone still remember the chatroom as a way of communication?
Six years ago, I was still in a school in Beijing, carefree and lightheartedly being one of the elites. Back then, the internet didn't have blogs, feeds, or online movies (because bandwidth was generally very low), and many people were creating their own personal homepages, which were usually hosted under a username.go.domain.com or page.domain.com/~username kind of domain. Free spaces typically only supported static HTML with no server-side dynamic code. At that time, we tried every possible way to add dynamic and interactive elements to our homepages, applying for free guestbooks and chatroom codes all over the place.
