I was thinking this morning about how I can remember exactly where I was the first time I saw Napster. (One of the IT guys at work showed it to me. It was mesmerizing.) This got me thinking about other online apps/phenomena that I can recall seeing for the first time with precise clarity. Here's my list of I Know Exactly Where I Was When I First Saw...

• Napster
• Google Maps
• Friendster
• Hot Or Not
• Wikipedia
• YouTube
• Dodgeball
• Foursquare
• Chatroulette
• 4chan
• Bro Icing
• Netscape browser
• The Paris Hilton Sex Video
• lonelygirl15
• Goatse.cx
• 2 Girls, 1 Cup

And for whatever reason, some things not on this list:

• Facebook
• MySpace
• eBay
• PayPal
• iPhone
• Gawker
• Digg
• AOL
• Flickr
• Firefox
• Chocolate Rain
• Rickrolling
• Any video with a cat

Yours?

I don't know which part of this interview with Fred Wilson I like most (all of which is packed with accidents of success), but I'll pick this one:

How did you start blogging?
I was at a cocktail party at Nick Denton's house several years ago and the founders of Moveable Type were at the party. They convinced me to blog, so I went home, set up a blog and started blogging.
