Robert Reid explores the history of the Net from a business perspective--how a communication system nominally built for national defense and in effect taken over by education and research came to erupt as the most important medium since television--and with greater speed and intensity than any communication medium ever. Each chapter examines the Web's business development through the story of one of its pioneers--including Marc Andreeson of Netscape, Mark Pesce of VRML, Jerry Yang of Yahoo!, Halsey Minor of CNET, and more. Its an exciting story of frantic activity in a whirlwind environment and of the individuals who rode the tornado to success.
Product Description:
"A terrific book that captures the explosion of creativity and business evolution at the center of the Internet phenomenon. A tantalizing mix of diverse players with utopian visions, animated by equal parts aggression and delight. A true saga of our time." andmdash;James F. Moore, author of The Death of Competition Chairman, Geo Partners Research, Inc.
Architects of the Web presents the dynamic history of the Web's creation and evolution andmdash;as well as its emergence as a dynamic business tool andmdash;through revealing profiles of its architects, the brilliant minds who have helped thrust the Web onto desktops and corporate agendas around the world. A diverse, ambitious group, the architects of the Web are: Marc Andreessen, Netscape
Ariel Poler, I/PRO
Rob Glaser, Progressive Networks
Andrew Anker, HotWired
Kim Polese, Marimba
Halsey Minor, CNET
Mark Pesce, VRML
Jerry Yang, Yahoo!
It is arguably the most significant business tool of our time. As powerful as the television, the telephone, and the personal computer andmdash;and destined to subsume them all andmdash; the Internet has exploded from twenty-five years of lab room obscurity to become the hottest business story ever. The catalyst of this explosion, of course, is the rise of the World Wide Web, the Internet's multimedia domain.
The Web itself was just an academic curiosity until a University of Illinois undergraduate and a young researcher wrote a piece of software called "Mosaic" that made the Web accessible and alluring to the masses. In the thousand days that followed Mosaic's release on the PC and Macintosh, the Web attracted more than 40 million users.
This spectacular growth sparked one of the most dramatic periods of capital formation in history andmdash;so far bringing a million dollars or more in invested capital to over 500 new companies. One of these companies, Netscape, quickly became the fastest growing software company in history. And its flagship product, the Netscape Navigator, became the most popular PC application in the world less than two years after its release.

Marc Andreessen, Netscape: Coauthor of Mosaic and cofounder of Netscape, Marc touched off the Web revolution and soon became one of the most celebrated and talked-about entrepreneurs of our time.
Kim Polese, Marimba: Sun Microsystems' Java language is revolutionizing the economics and competitive dynamics of the technology industry. It is also one of that industry's great marketing successes. Kim was Java's "marketing department" during its early history, and in 1996 cofounded Marimba to help further the language's development.
