Your favorite source of Movie and Television series information recently celebrated its 18th year in existence. Internet Movie DataBase came to the internet and was launched on Oct 17, 1990. It was created by a teenager by the name of Col Needham. It is really a momentous occasion for such an outfit because usually, the normal “life expectancy” of a website is usually up until 14 years. It either upgrades itslef into a better site or it just ceases to operate. The IMDB started out from Usenet newsgroups then it proceeded to become a web site. It is just sad that IMDB was bought by Amazon.com. The site has gone through a series of improvements through all its years and whats most important to know is, it stayed true to its mission of providing reliable cross referencing.
