Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Back in 1999, Douglas Adams - who was always quite a technophile - decided it was about time to make a website for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He didn't want it to be a fan site, a mostly-static place with information about the Hitchhiker's series; he had something much bigger in mind. What he wanted was, in essence, the "Earth Edition" of the Guide, somewhere where internet users could write and post their own articles about Life, the Universe and Everything, share information, create an online community; all those wonderful things that the World Wide Web made possible (and some things that he imagined would be possible in the near future, such as the use of "devices [...] that combine palmtop computers with cellphones with Internet devices with GPS systems"). So that's what he did. |
