XOOM counter! I can't believe I forgot that XOOM existed back in the day


When I was younger I taught myself HTML and started helping out on the XOOM support chat (forum?). They noticed my passion and sent me a job application form and seemed eager to bring me onboard. I was pretty excited and promptly completed it. Unfortunately I did not get the job. They had absolutely no idea I was only 14 years old and assumed I was much older. Man, I miss the innocent days of the internet.


yeah man, they had a whole 10MB free hosting! way bigger than geocities! I had two accounts for a website, one with pictures and one with the html. I only have the html archived :(
