Swedish blog about search engines and searching the internet
A website was born
The first steps in realizing Internetbrus was taken a gloomy and dark autumn day through e-mail. The lack of a Swedish website dedicated to the monitoring and evaluation of search engines and about searching the Internet influenced two academic librarians to start thinking of creating a website with the purpose to spread information to Internet users and educators who had an ambition to learn more about searching and search engines on Internet.
The website was launched on March 1, 2001
17 April, 2003 Internetbrus started using weblogging software (although unconscious of the blog movement having adopted the weblog format from the beginning).
In June 2004 Internetbrus started to cooperate with Pandia.com to provide selected search engine news translated from the Swedish Internetbrus to articles in English for Pandia Search Engine News.
