11 Internet Trends From The Past In Edmonton

Chances are if you grew up in Edmonton and had a computer, you were a part of one of these trends…

Remember these don’t really have anything to do with Edmonton, other than some Edmontonians definitely were on the trend train for these.

11) Habbo Hotel (Apparently this is still a thing! The website is still up and running! Habbo.com)

10) MySpace (Remember when we discovered music on MySpace? What happened to LawlMall???)

9) Neopets (Yeah this use to be all the rage! Nowadays kids are more into things like Hatchimals)

8) Club Penguin (It has gone on to be even more successful under the Disney banner.)

7) The Spooky Chain Mail (Yes I’m giving this a spot on the list! How many of you fell for the REPOST IN 6 MINUTES trick)

6) Number Munchers (Sure it didn’t have a lot to do with the internet… But who wouldn’t play this at school and try to find their own version at home)

5) LiveJournal (Yeah this lasted in Edmonton for about a HOT MINUTE.)

4) Netscape Navigator (Boy was this ever handy for navigating the web!)

3) MSN Messenger

2) Oregon Trail (Throwing it quite a ways back with this one! But come on who hasn’t died in this game)

1) Nexopa (Need I say more.. This site is still up and running too! Good thing my old account was deleted years ago “Skyline_Ty_Electricity“)
