List of Internet pioneers
Nicola Pellow, one of the nineteen members of the "WWW Project" at CERN working with Tim Berners-Lee, is recognized for developing the first cross-platform internet browser, Line Mode Browser, that displayed web-pages on dumb terminals and was released in May 1991. She joined the project in November 1990, while an undergraduate math student enrolled in a sandwich course at Leicester Polytechnic (now De Montfort University). She left CERN at the end of August 1991, but returned after graduating in 1992, and worked with Robert Cailliau on MacWWW, the first web browser for the classic Mac OS.
MarilynManson.com
Marilyn Manson were one of the first bands to actively engage with their audience through online communication. Their first website was launched at 3pm PTD on September 4, 1998, and was created by ArtistDirect. This website contained numerous references to the numbers 1 and 5, similar to the artwork for the band's then-upcoming album, "Mechanical Animals"—which featured the band's name stylized as Mar1lyn Man5on. The album was also released on September 15. This website featured a bulletin board system, an interactive discography with lyrics and sound clips, photos, as well as an online store. The site also hosted regular contests, with a different fan being awarded two tickets for every North American date of the band's "Mechanical Animals Tour". On September 9, 1998, the band's eponymous singer took part in one of the world's first-ever live video chats, answering numerous questions submitted by fans.
