[ih] WWW date?

[Vint Cerf]

i will ask tim and someone should just look at Weaving the Web. I think 1991
is about the time that marc andreesen started working on Mosaic but it may
also be a time when tim made a major release.

Here's a question I bet this group can answer in a flash:

 

Various sources show either 1989 or 1991 as the date for the "birth of the
web".  Apparently Tim Berners-Lee supports the 1989 date.

 

Does anyone have more of the story?  Does the 1991 date have any
significance (eg, some major release date) or is it simply wrong.

 

Thanks,

Phill Gross
