2.56 pm. Tim Berners-Lee responds to a user of a newsgroup (alt.newsgroup) who asks “Is anyone aware of research or development effort in hypertext links enabling retrieval of information from multiple heterogeneous sources?”. He replies “The WorldWideWeb project aims to allow links to be made to any information anywhere. If you are interested in using the code, mail me.” This is the first public announcement on the World Wide Web.
