Best of the Web

Originally published in 1994, Best of the Web was one of the earliest, if not the first, online awards websites. The goal was to show websites of quality, versatility, and power. These websites were nominated and voted on by the Webbers, who were experienced internet users. Eventually Best of the Web pivoted into a full directory and Webbers turned into Editors, who still to this day curate the Best of the Web directory to ensure a high level of quality.
