Tales of the Past Future: Web Pioneers Remember
Event	Interactive 2011
Format	Panel
Organizer	Katie Spence – XOXCO
Description	This year, millions of people will start their first blog. Millions of people will write their first tweet, join their first social network, or post their first picture to the Web. Welcome to the future, guys, but some of us have been at this for nearly two decades! Join a panel of industry veterans who rode the waves of the first boom and lived to tell the tales of the '90s Internet. Featuring practical stories of life lessons learned online as well as fond (and not so fond) memories of bygone sites, startups and memes, this will be a great panel for those who lived through it, and those who wish to learn from the hilarious and heartbreaking mistakes of others.
Questions Answered	What's the difference between running a commercial website vs. a personal website? Was the internet better in the early days? What did people do on the internet before blogging? What portion of your life shouldn't you share online? Will you feel like blogging forever?
Level	Beginner
Category	Blogging
Tags	bloggers, history, lessons-learned
