Websites recorded from the meeting.

Abstract

Do you remember the first time you surfed the Internet? It was mesmerizing to discover and explore new websites. Hypertext, URL, World Wide Web and a slew of other terms were just starting to become part of our vernacular.

Today we've gotten accustomed to the web, so we're usually not out there hunting for the next best web site. But every once in a while you'll still get wowed by the discovery of a new site.

Tonight, let's explore the Internet together. Let's all get wowed. Bring 5 of your favorite websites. Be prepared to show everyone what's on the site, and why you think it is in your list of top 5 websites.

Also to be talked about at the meeting will be firefox extensions, including the following:
- ad blocker plus (this goes way past popup blocking)
- firebug
- customize google
- del.icio.us
- session manager
