@andybaio@xoxo.zone Missing so many things, and numerous cases of non-firsts, which is par for the course since "Internet" is the filter. Which means there's no PLATO, no chat rooms (Talkomatic, long before IRC), instant messaging (TERM-talk, long before AOL Instant Messenger), message forums (PLATO Notes, 7-8 years before USENET), PLATO emoticons (years before Internet emoticons). No mention of COCONET's emoticons which were essentially the first Emoji, in 1987, 11 years before Japan. Et cetera.
