Welcome to gopherspace. | |
Isn't it exciting? It's a trip back in time. Welcome to your past. | |
Alright, so you want to know what this is? Well, gopher is an | |
old protocol that was designed to easily allow the share of information | |
and files over the Internet. It contains hypertext menus that allow | |
quick and easy navigation of gopherspace. | |
This protocol predated the web as we know it (HTML), but is still | |
alive today. | |
So what's the point of it? Well, It's very easy to make a | |
gopherspace; they are more like FTP sites, although that doesn't mean | |
that the only thing a gopherspace can be is a collection of files. It | |
can also display information in menus which gives us an amalgamation of | |
both technologies. | |
