35 years ago today, on 6 August 1991, @timbl shared about a project he called WorldWideWeb.

"The WWW project merges the techniques of information retrieval and hypertext to make an easy but powerful global information system... Try it"

Thank you Tim and thank you to everyone who has helped make the web an open, powerful global information sharing system for all.
