Single-serving Site
A single-serving site (SSS) is a website composed of a single page with a dedicated domain name and which serves only one purpose. The term was originally coined by Jason Kottke in February 2008, although single-serving sites have existed since the dawn of the web. History Origins The origins of single-serving sites trace back to the creation of the World Wide Web. The oldest known single serving site was Purple.com, which was launched in 1994. This website contained no links and its only content was a purple-colored background. In August 1995, wwwdotcom.com was launched, the first of several sites dubbed as "The Last Page of the Internet." Mike Kuniavsky launched Tired.com in November 1997. This site asks the viewer if he/she is tired and if so, why. In 1999, Zombo.com was launched, featuring a page with seven rotating colour wheels. Many people view this site as a parody of several other single serving sites created in the late 1990s. Metababy was an early single-serving s ...

Purple (colour)
Purple is any of a variety of colors with hue between red and blue. In the RGB color model used in computer and television screens, purples are produced by mixing red and blue light. In the RYB color model historically used by painters, purples are created with a combination of red and blue pigments. In the CMYK color model used in printing, purples are made by combining magenta pigment with either cyan pigment, black pigment, or both. Purple has long been associated with royalty, originally because Tyrian purple dye, made from the mucus secretion of a species of snail, was extremely expensive in antiquity. Purple was the color worn by Roman magistrates; it became the imperial color worn by the rulers of the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, and later by Roman Catholic bishops. Similarly in Japan, the color is traditionally associated with the emperor and aristocracy. According to contemporary surveys in Europe and the United States, purple is the color ...

Kronen Zeitung
The ''Kronen Zeitung'' (), commonly known as the ''Krone'', is Austria's largest newspaper. It is known for being Eurosceptic. History The first issue of the ''Kronen Zeitung'' appeared on 2 January 1900. Gustav Davis, a former army officer, was the founder. The name referred to the monthly purchase price of one crown (it did not refer to the monarchic crown), recently made possible after the abolition of bureaucratic duties on newspapers (''Zeitungsstempelgebühr'') on 31 December 1899. The newspaper struggled in its first three years until the 10 June 1903 regicide of King Aleksandar Obrenović in the neighbouring Kingdom of Serbia, which the paper reported on extensively and made it achieve enormous popularity. The paper also became well known for its featured novels and other innovations, such as games for readers. By 1906 the newspaper had sold 100,000 copies. Franz Lehár composed a waltz for the newspaper for their 10,000th issue. After the ''Anschluß'' of Aus ...
