If you want to fly across the world tomorrow, you can make your plans within minutes while sitting on your couch. But booking travel used to be much more complicated. It required calling (or visiting) travel agents who would manage all of your reservations for you, and then you'd have to wait from them to send your tickets and itineraries. The process could take hours, and ensuring you'd found the best prices was near impossible.That all changed when American Airlines began making their travel booking software available online. The man who led those efforts was Terry Jones. Terry Jones was a former travel agent turned tech ops manager who oversaw American's initiative to launch the website that ultimately became Travelocity, and it forever changed how people traveled.If that weren't enough, Terry also went on to help found Kayak, the travel comparison engine that made finding the best and cheapest flights as easy as booking online.In this episode of Web Masters, Terry talks about how he helped build both revolutionary pieces of travel software.

His travel review website completely revolutionized the travel industry and changed the way people took vacations.On this episode of Web Masters, Steve shares the story of not just building TripAdvisor, but running it for two decades through both an acquisition and going public.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.

What would the Internet be without pictures and videos of cats doing ridiculous things? Luckily, we'll never have to find out, and it's thanks, in part, to Ben Huh.In the early 2000s, Ben bought a popular cat meme website called I Can Haz Cheezburger and he turned it into the Cheezburger Network, one of the Internet's most popular user-submitted content websites. In its heyday, the site was so popular it produced everything from coffee table books to reality television shows.As social media matured, user-submitted content websites waned in popularity, and along with it, so did Cheezburger Network, but not before Ben's sites forever flooded the Internet with thousands of memes that we might never escape.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.

For millions of people, their first experience with the World Wide Web was made possible by America Online -- AOL. In fact, most people directly associate AOL with the Web. But did you know AOL predates the World Wide Web by nearly a decade?That's because, when AOL launched, the it was still illegal to use the Internet for commercialize activities. Instead, AOL was one of a handful of companies attempting to create their own global network. And, thanks to a bunch of CD-Roms you probably remember, AOL was the most successful company doing it.On this episode of Web Masters, you'll hear the story of how AOL got started and how it grew to be one of the biggest companies on the early Web as we hear from AOL co-founder Marc Seriff.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.

Most of us do a significant chunk of our purchasing at Amazon.com. Or, at the very least, a site like it. Amazon may or may not be the cheapest, but we're pretty sure it'll have what we want, we know delivery will be quick, and the price will be competitive.Even though we don't give online purchasing a second thought these days, it actually took a lot of years for early web users to get comfortable buying stuff from the internet. That's because E-commerce didn't begin as a better option for most retail purchases. In fact, in the beginning, E-commerce was pretty crummy. It was hard to navigate, shipping times were slow, and there was lots of fraud.E-commerce had to evolve over time into becoming something that was clearly a better option than traditional, in-person commerce, and one of the people who had a big impact on that evolution was Amir Ashkenazi. He did it by helping people bargain hunt and comparison shop online, first through his DealTime platform, and then the company it became, which was Shopping.com.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.

Most digital music pioneers encountered lots of resistance from the large music record labels. In fact, many of their companies were sued out of existence.

When Alon Carmel launched JDate in 1997, he wasn't a pioneer in the online dating industry. He wasn't even a pioneer in the online Jewish dating industry. In fact, by the time he had the idea for Jdate, the Web already contained over a hundred Jewish themed dating websites. But rather than seeing all that competition and thinking the market was saturated, Alon saw the competition and figured: "It must be a good business."Recognizing the opportunity, Alon and his friend, Joe Shapira, focused on creating a popular brand. And it worked.From lavish parties to billboards across Times Square, Alon wanted to make sure everyone in the world knew about Jdate, even if not everyone was his customer. The result was the world's most popular dating website for Jewish people and a strategy for online dating focused on niche communities that Alon and his team expanded well beyond Jewish dating. It ultimately led to Spark Networks, one of the largest and most profitable networks of dating websites in the world.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.

What do archaeology and cookie recipes have in common? In truth, not much. But that didn't stop a group of archaeology graduate students from the University of Washington from joining together to create CookieRecipe.com. CookieRecipe grew so popular that the grad students started building other similar sites, like PieRecipe.com, CakeRepice.com, ChickenRecipe.com, and ThanksgivingRecipe.com.Eventually, their network of recipe sites got so popular that they decided to combine it into one site for all their recipes. They called that site Allrecipes.com, and it's still still one of the most popular recipe websites in the world.On this episode of Web Masters, one of those archeology grad students shares the story of how he and his friends built Allrecipes. His name is Carl Lipo, and, despite helping build an enormously popular website, he decided to stick with archaeology, and he's now an archeology professor.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.

Everyone is familiar with the 1 to 10 numeric grading scale used to describe people's attractiveness. A supermodel might be described as “a perfect 10,” while “a 1” is basically the ugliest person you could ever imagine.In the early 2000s, a couple of college buddies in Silicon Valley decided to turn that concept into a website. It was called HOTorNOT.com. On HOTorNOT, brave people who wanted an honest measure of their attractiveness would upload pictures of themselves, and other users of the website would grade their hotness on a ubiquitous 1 to 10 numeric “hotness” scale.Within days of launching, HOTorNOT became a massive, viral hit. Millions of people from around the world were logging onto HOTorNOT.com to judge the attractiveness of others, and the site soon became one of the most popular and heavily trafficked websites on the Internet.On this episode of Web Masters, you'll hear the story of how -- and why -- James built it, as well as how people responded to what was perhaps the most superficial site on the Internet.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.

As the ShareFile name implies, it's a software for sharing, storing, and otherwise managing files in the cloud. It's not a particularly unique service. In this episode, you'll hear ShareFile's founder, Jesse Lipson, mention some familiar competitors -- companies like Dropbox and Box and YouSendIt. Though, to be fair, in 2005, when the company launched. these types of services weren't so common. Still, cloud file management isn't exactly an obscure niche, meaning, there are a decent number of companies playing in the space, which makes for a challenging, competitive environment.However, despite that challenging environment, Jesse managed to bootstrap his company to an impressive exit over the course of six years.Bootstrapping enterprise SaaS apps isn't common. And it isn't easy, either. On this episode of Web Masters, we're going to hear how Jesse did it.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.

Before social media websites became our feeds of information from around the Internet, people relied on RSS (Really Simple Syndication) to build their own feeds of content from different websites. While this was a great way for consumers to keep updated on what their favorite sites were producing, it wasn't so great for the sites themselves. Lots of their readers were viewing content through RSS feeds, which meant less site visitors and less money from advertisers.The FeedBurner team helped solve that problem. FeedBurner allowed websites with continuously updating content (i.e. blogs, news sites, etc.) to monetize on people who subscribed to their sites using RSS.In this episode of Web Masters, one of FeedBurner's co-founders, Matt Shobe, shares the story of helping build FeedBurner while helping us understand what the Internet was like back when you could "reach the end" of it thanks to your RSS feed.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.

Scott Heiferman was the featured guest on Web Masters Episode #80. In that episode, we heard about how Scott built Meetup, the pioneering website for helping people find their local communities. But that wasn't the only popular website Scott built. He also built Fotolog.Fotolog was a social media website where people posted and shared their photos online for their friends to view in their feeds. In other words, it was basically Instagram. But it appeared nearly a decade before Instagram.Fotolog never quite achieved the same global status as Instagram, but it was one of the most popular websites in lots of countries around the world. On this episode of Web Masters, Scott talks about what it was like building Fotolog alongside Meetup and how it grew into a popular cultural phenomenon of its own.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.

The guest in this episode of Web Masters thought it could be.
