What this wasThe story
A Turkish journalist's personal page — I KISS YOU!!!!! — passed around in 1999 until it was reported worldwide. One of the earliest cases of a private individual becoming globally famous from a web page he made himself, and of what that costs.
Why it is here: it got out of its own corner of the internet fast · still being watched and quoted years later
This began as a web page, not as a video.
Where it came fromWhat we know
There is no original upload to identify: this did not begin as one. There is no copy of it here either — what it was, when it appeared and what people called it is what this page can tell you.
Nothing here is claimed to be the first publication of this Moment, because the first publication was not an upload. This began as a web page, not as a video.
