IMDB turns 19 today

DateSaturday, October 17, 2009 at 9:09PM

Who would've known, the highly addictive website imdb.com turns 19  today.  The website we go to for everything movie and TV is older than sites like Google and Yahoo.

IMDB actually started as a USENET newsgroup in 1990.  It was known as rec.arts.movies, not imdb at this point.  It's popularity on the web soared when it became known as imdb four years later.  In 1998 Amazon bought imdb promising to keep it free to users, although it created a subscriber area for more information on movies.

The site continues to grow.  It now plays video content and has such interactive features as tracking the movie box office results.
