No, I said GNN
Global Network Navigator was the first Web site with clickable advertising; it was, like seemingly everything Webulous in the 1990s, associated with O’Reilly. (In 1993, this is what a commercial site looked like.)
After a couple of years, O’Reilly sold GNN to AOL, which eventually mothballed it but held onto the gnn.com domain, just in case.
I’d bet anything that Lileks found this when he discovered he still had a bookmark for it after all these years.
