Самый ламповый проект Apple, который с треском провалился
90-е были для Интернета чем-то вроде эпохи Дикого Фронтира: никаких правил, никакой цензуры и никакого блёклого веб-дизайна от биг-корпов. Стремясь перетянуть на свою сторону ещё не слишком многочисленную онлайн-толпу, компании и стартапы пытались придумать что-то этакое — и порой создавали очень странные, но безумно интересные продукты.

@Verfassungklage Schön zu sehen, wie sich #Energopolis als #PodcastDe entwickelt (hat). Im Februar 2026 durften die beiden Podcaster eine Sendung von der #eWorld machen.
Hier habe ich auch schon mal darüber geschrieben, welche Themen in der Vergangenheit besprochen wurden: https://der-hoerold.blogspot.com/2025/05/energopolis-podcast.html

Wir stehen kurz vor der #Eworld in Essen (einer der Leitmessen der Energiebranche in Deutschland) und da macht ein Artikel in #DieZEIT zur #Energiewende in Indien wirklich Mut: Viele Teile der Welt werden die fossilen Energieträger einfach überspringen, so wie Afrika das Festnetz übersprungen hat:

An entire eWorld experience. Completely forgot about this AOL competitor but the artwork immediately brought it back!

Today we celebrate the 13th anniversary of the demise of #Apple's #MobileMe service. Overpriced and unreliable, MobileMe was one of Apple's worst offerings. It was preceded by iTools and .Mac, both of which were reasonable, and succeeded by iCloud, which was also reasonable. But MobileMe? Garbahhge. Whereas the demise of #eWorld fills me with sadness, the demise of MobileMe delights me.

Shortly after the shuttering of #eWorld, Apple released HideEworld, a software extension for #NewtonOS which disabled the stationery and email transport used to access eWorld and the NewtonMail online services.

Apple needs to come out with a simpler/cheaper VisionPro and bundle it with a reworked/modern eWorld.

Time-lapse process for Day 15: Guidebook.
I love trying to emulate the style of Apple’s eWorld social network. Everything is so vibrant and the shapes are really forgiving but there’s a quality about it that if you don’t get just right, it def feels wrong. I think I pulled it off here tho.
This one ended up being much more fun than I thought it would be given the boring prompt. Yay!

In a few months it will be 30 years since I met my wife on #eWorld.
I sometimes joke that we invented the concept of Internet dating and we’re getting royalties.
But we do wonder how many other couples out there met specifically on eWorld and are still together to tell the tale?
Pipe up if you did! 👋🏻

It’s August 30th, 2024 so I am contractually obligated to post about one of my favorite Star Trek time travel episodes: Deep Space Nine’s “Past Tense“.
The Episode
The referenced fictional Bell Riots happen in San Francisco in two days on September 1st. In the episode, three of the main characters travel back in time to today and witness one small aspect of what Earth was like before we got Star Trek’s brand of fully automated luxury gay space communism. It was very much meant to hold a mirror up to America’s class system in that certain mainstream sci-fi way.
I liked this long post on how naïvely optimistic the episode is, with the writers saying that tragedy of the Riots was a wake up call that motivated our democracy to solve the housing crisis. Looking at our political environment in the lead up to the 2024 Presidential election, the lip service paid to Black Lives Matter in 2020, as well as our bipartisan relative inaction with the ongoing COVID pandemic, it’s hard to imagine us collectively taking action just because some a few people shared their stories after a nudge from some time traveling Starfleet officers. That said Star Trek has always been about imagining a better future, so I think part of why I like the episode is that it seems like fixing things is possible.
As the date has approached, I’ve seen more and more references to Sanctuary Districts, especially in the context of news articles about homelessness up and down the US West Coast. Even the Chronicle is covering the episode this week! While I can’t speak to how unhoused folks are treated in San Francisco, I’m a little more connected to this here in Seattle.
Seattle
In our last point in time count, we had the third largest unhoused population in the US: over 16,000 people, almost 10,000 of whom are living unsheltered. Some of that is driven by our generally milder weather, but despite stereotypes of people traveling from out of state the majority of people living outside are from the region. Our housing market is among the most expensive (in part due to an influx of high paying tech jobs like mine), though it’s not the fastest growing anymore because we’ve been building some new housing.
On the surface we’re a progressive “In This House” sort of city except when it comes to how we treat unhoused folks… but when topics like 3rd and Pine corridor or “what if they were camping near your home?” come up I hear among the most hateful and uncaring statements about our fellow human beings.
Of course we are trying to do some good things in the city and county like tiny house villages and creating a social housing developer, but it’s only a little and we have thousands of reasons to need more. That’s likely going to require new funding at the federal level.
We’re admittedly not doing much hands on ourselves other than trying to vote in a more progressive city council and donating to several local charities working in this space. Some of our recurring favorites include:
- Low Income Housing Institute
- Operates tiny house villages as well as the Urban Rest Stop which offers shower and laundry services
- Ballard Food Bank
One of the writers of the episode, Robert Hewitt Wolfe, has his own SFO-focused charity suggestions. Definitely worth donating this weekend if you can spare!
Internet
I have one last aside about their retrofuturistic portrayal of the Internet. I got online for the first time less than a month before the episode aired, joining eWorld at 14400 baud. Their vision was mostly interactive TV with some ability to live broadcast.
In the episode’s plot getting the white knight tech executive to allow the District residents to share their stories to a broad audience is a pivotal moment.
It’s hard now to imagine a 2024 where the vast majority of Americans don’t own a smart phone capable of live streaming an event from just about anywhere. They did show a touchscreen with a stylus. Some of the interface almost reminds me of the old Knowledge Navigator concept video.
Looking Forward
The future they expected for today was obviously different from what the present has yielded, and elements of the episode are now dated… but I think the core of the message remains relevant in emphasizing the need for structural change to meet everyone’s needs. Like any of my childhood favorite Trek episodes it has its issues but still has a special spot in my memory.
In the meantime, activate your Net Access, Channel 47.

Ok, done: http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/eworld
First time actually packaging up disk images, so feel free to shout at me if they're wrong/corrupt/have issues. 🙂

Digging through the massive collection of floppy disks I inherited as part of the G3 MT, i've come across eWorld 'Europe Version' 1.1.2.
Both disks are readable, and i've made DiskCopy images of them. While I don't think they're useful I notice that they're not on garden or repository. Would they be worth uploading?

Es fällt auf, dass Emissionshandel auf der #eWorld immer mit Windrändern oder Solaranlagen bebildert wird. Warum eigentlich? Das sind genau die Technologien, die keinen Emissionshandel benötigt, weil keine Emissionen anfallen.
Old World Bias.

As long as we're all waxing nostalgic about the good old days of the internet - am I the only one who remembers eWorld?

@robertdmcneill not only do I remember #eWorld, but I used it a few days ago:
