The spirit of the ’90s is alive on the web. A prerelease build of Windows 10 debuted Tuesday and was very well received, and now everyone’s excited to see where Microsoft is headed next. Social networking was big news this week too, partially because of Facebook’s “real name” policy, but also because of the sudden blossoming interest around Ello. The invite-only social network has captured the interest of the digerati fed up with Facebook and Twitter and the corporate takeover of the open internet. Speaking of the open internet, the web’s old school is riding a wave of nostalgia for Unix servers with flat HTML files—they’re flocking to Paul Ford’s latest project tilde.club, a web ring for throwback-style personal web pages. All this, and a few dirty jokes. Be sure to enjoy this one with your kids.
