Web Masters

Joey Anuff, the founder of Suck.com, shares the story of building one of the Internet's first satire and humor websites.

Show Notes

There was a lot of hype and excitement surrounding the early Web. Problem was, it wasn't nearly as refined as it is now. In fact, the early Web was pretty terrible.

While most publications -- publications like Wired Magazine -- were evangelizing and praising the tech revolution, Joey Anuff and Carl Steadman were sharing a different and more realistic perspective on their website, Suck.com. Other people noticed, and Suck became one of the most popular content sites on the early Internet.

In this episode of Web Masters, Joey tells the story of building Suck.com and gives his thoughts on whether the Web still sucks.
