The World’s First Banner Ad

Why?

HotWired decided to make money from their site back in 1994, and out came banner ads.

Who was the first?

AT&T was the first to hand over money to HotWired to display their ad, a 468×60 banner ad that was first displayed on October 25.

What?

The World's First Banner Ad

So there you have it, quite an ugly thing, but never less the first.
