Top of the Net 2001
January 2002 By Alan Cohen
OUR PICKS It was a tough and incredible year. Here are the tough and incredible people, sites, and events that took us through it all, reflecting the Net's growth and evolution

Event of the Year

9/11
Challenger blew up and the country kept going. Kennedy died in Dallas and the country kept going. The stock market crashed; Lincoln slumped bloody in a Ford's Theatre box seat. The country kept going. That's what it does. After we pause and watch, aghast, and wonder how we'll ever move on from the horror, we do. This time, as we confronted a nation irrevocably changed, we faced our rage and sorrow with the Net at our side. Email and instant messaging were vital lifelines for those in and out of Manhattan and Washington, D.C. News sites and personal Web diaries offered an intense range of information and analysis. Reaction across a global medium was never so immediate--or so maddening, accessible, or important.

The Internet Archive Wayback Machine [web.archive.org]
We can't stop reliving that day, in video footage and in our nightmares, over and over. To preserve the vast amount of online data created after the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks, the Library of Congress, WebArchivist.org and the Internet Archive saved a copy of every available Web page covering the attacks and put together the Wayback Machine's September 11 collection. Weighing in at more than 5 terabytes (that's 5 million megabytes) of material, this free digital library will provide a permanent record for future surfers and scholars seeking to reconstruct the day. Person of the Year

You
John and Jane Does of the Net, take a bow. When the pundits and venture capitalists said the Net boom was over, you ignored them even more thoroughly than when they'd said buying cat food online was a good idea. Actually, your personal use of the Net has heated up. And you're a more diverse crew than ever: Four out of five American kids were using the Internet in 2001, as were 15 percent of the country's senior citizens and two-thirds of U.S. small businesses. But you weren't perfect. Far too many of you are more interested in sending cheesy ecards and forwarding bad jokes than in keeping an eye on the political issues that protect your Net access. Nonetheless, in the past few years, good common sense hasn't been rewarded nearly enough when it comes to things Netty. This one's for you. Fight of the Year

Privacy vs. Security
In this corner: Attorney General John Ashcroft, the intelligence community, hundreds of skittish congressional critters eager to do something, and the fear that, even if the Internet and cryptography weren't used in the last attack, they're bound to be part of the

next one. In that corner: Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.), the Electronic Frontier Foundation, hundreds of experts who question the ability and usefulness of any currently existing online security technology, and a couple of sections of the Constitution. Referee: the Supremes, eventually. The mat: your freedom. No matter who wins, it's going to take a trampling. Villain of the Year

Virus Writers
This was the year we started looking at our mail very closely, both online and off. While e-mail viruses might be less life-threatening than anthrax, they nevertheless made a mess that cost Net users well over $11 billion. We'd say these digital hellions showed more skill than sense, except that most of them didn't reflect any skill, either. The class of 2001 virus writers were, more often than not, "script kiddies" using prewritten virus programs to cook up their little annoyances. Why? To prove their 133t sk1llz? (That's hackerese for "elite skills.") To make a statement about social injustice? To strike a blow against big, bad Microsoft? No. They did it for the same reason that their parents egged the neighbor's house on Halloween when they were young. Problem is, it's extremely difficult to take $11 billion out of someone's allowance. Trend of the Year

Weblogs
If this is the year of the average Joe, big props to his soapbox: the weblog. Known as blogs, these do-ityourself online diaries are arguably the easiest way to make a wave in the Web's ocean. Feeling really lazy? Type your profound thoughts into a ready-made blog form; a site such as Blogger blogger.com or Pitas.com will build a Web page and put it online for you. The snobs of the Web world might think less of blogs for being so clearly and unabashedly labors of love. But with a galaxy of participants weighing in--from high-school students to

professional writers and artists--blogging supplied the Net with the freshest voices of the year. Tech of the Year (Yours)

E-Mail
The Internet's original killer app turned 30 sometime in October. Fittingly enough for a humble workhorse of a technology, e-mail's father, Ray Tomlinson, doesn't remember exactly when the first message was sent. Nor does he remember exactly what it said. (We personally suspect that it was spam hawking cheap rubber-stamp pads.) In 2001, hundreds of millions of e-mail addresses exchanged a simply unthinkable number of messages. And though not every one carried the poignancy of September 11 's raft of "Are you OK?" and "oh my God" messages, we wouldn't trade e-mail for any of the Net's glitzier realms. Bonus: Attachments may carry viruses, but no one's yet found a way to enclose powders. Tech of the Year (Theirs)

Surveillance
Through the month of August, increased concern about online privacy kept surveillance advocates on the run. The government's Carnivore monitoring system drew gales of protest from technology experts and civil libertarians, while much attention was focused on what businesses might be doing with consumers' all-important purchasing information. That was then. These days, no one's talking much about buyers' rights. In the weeks since September 11, surveillance advocates have made astonishing gains (at the expense of constitutional rights, according to privacy watchdogs and civil libertarians), with little or no evidence that the gathered information will be handled responsibly or analyzed effectively. Will collecting masses of raw data on every Net user actually protect anyone from anything? The tech community is doubtful, but it's hard to make oneself heard during a stampede.

Free Music
As Metallica, Hilary Rosen, and the Recording Industry Association of America led the charge against Napster, the poster child for file-sharing and free music, those who understood how the Internet and its people work sat back and laughed. Sure, the courts might be able to pummel a service that was silly enough to tell them where it lived and who was in charge, but what can they do about programs without a central authority? When Napster was forced to regulate itself, its copycats gained a dividend: vast numbers of displaced users. Now, instead of having all the troublemakers in one place, where they could more easily be reprogrammed into paying for their music, all of us--uh, we mean all of you--music-sharing roaches scurried under different pieces of kitchen furniture, becoming that much more difficult to find. And while Hilary hasn't given up the fight (not by a long shot), the lack of a central brand is making free music harder than ever to fight. In the meantime, sites such as Audiogalaxy, LimeWire, Kazaa, and BearShare continue letting the music flow freely. next >>
