Did you know that Tucows.com is older than Netscape, Yahoo and many of the other original internet heavyweights?
Since 1993 Tucows.com has been a popular directory of shareware, freeware, and demo software packages available to download.
Tucows.com launched in 1993, I started with the company about six months before the site launched. Our original homepage was actually a Gopher page, not a Web page.
Good thing we went live with the Web version and not the Gopher version, although there might be something to be said for getting out in front of Gopher 2.0 - aka "Gopher-space for the People, by the People". I'm not sure that we could cram enough ajax-y goodness into it to get people excited though.
I think Greg and his guys did a great job of the redesign. If you are interested in the evolution of Tucows.com over the years, check out Tucows.com circa 1996 over at archive.org. Ouch.
