abstract:The Global Network Navigator (GNN) was the first commercial web publication and the first web site to offer clickable advertisements. GNN was launched in May 1993, as a project of the technical publishing company O'Reilly Media, then known as O'Reilly & Associates.
Out of this book grew the GlobalNetworkNavigator (GNN), the first commercial site on the World Wide Web and arguably Tim O'Reilly's most important contribution to the technology community.
