This is the set of videos for the MSN Preview that shipped with the MSN 20 software, created on October 17, 1996
MSN 20 was supposed to be a radical shift in the way people viewed online content The preview featured a variety of real people who represented the 6 channels of the software's main section, called On Stage Most of the acting is really canned, but what else would you expect?
Unfortunately, the software was way ahead of its time In 1996, people were trying to use this software with 16 MB RAM and 144k dial-up modems No one really knew what to expect from the Internet back then anyway You'll hear these people talk about web sites and e-mail like it's something unprecendented
This effort from MSN failed because computers in 1996 weren't ready for all of this content The internet would ultimately become a place that people could browse by themselves, without relying on a single online service By 1998, MSN's entire site was back to a normal page, with no more fancy content Regardless, this set of videos was probably the most interesting promotional item that MSN has ever put together
There are 8 parts to this video
000 - Outside the theatre
045 - Inside the theatre's lobby
158 - Channel 1 (MSNBC news, weather, sports) - watch a truly vintage MSNBC commercial hosted by Brian Williams
232 - Channel 2 (showbiz, games, drama)
309 - Channel 3 (arts, nature, history)
354 - Channel 4 (self, health, wealth)
431 - Channel 5 (media, zines, attitude) - the weirdest one BY FAR! stay tuned for this part this girl coined the phrase too stupid to stop that haunted some people during the installation process of MSN 20
507 - Channel 6 (fun, teens, comics)
These videos were filmed some time after July 1996 and before September 23, 1996 I couldn't find any information about any of the actors/actresses who appear throughout the videos They all go uncredited |
