Happy Birthday to pulver.com – 10 Years and Counting…
It was ten years ago today – December 21, 1994 that the pulver.com domain was issued.
Back then I remember trying to get the pulver.fam domain as in pulver.family but that wasn’t an option. Since I wasn’t a ‘.edu’ or a ‘.org’ I ended up going for .com, even though at the time I wasn’t really a ‘dot com’ either.
The first pulver.com home page launched in early January, 1995 and within a couple of months became the home for the nascent Internet Telephony Industry.
Looking back, I have to thank Josh Quittner who is now editor of Business 2.0 magazine but who in 1994 had a weekly Thursday column in Newsday who through his column introduced me to CuSeeMe. It was from my interest in CuSeeMe I discovered the launch of VocalTec's iPhone on February 15, 1995.
The rest, as they say, is history. :-)

I was not able to find anything dating as far back as 1994, but this is also pretty old:
Congrats, Jeff!
And merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
