i suddenly remember the 'virtual reality'/'open world'/video game 'browsers' that popped up they had this grand plan of you going shopping online in 'virtual' malls and all of that i also remember making a really crappy geocities site, somehow thinking the content was worth something, submitting it to the gamespy network or whatever that was called and actually getting a response (to tell me how poo poo it was, but in a nice way)

Peak cyberspace happened around 2006 when Second Life actually fooled several huge corporations into having a virtual world presence. Coca-cola, Toyota, Sun microsystems, CBS and several others https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb2E2htcrTU
