>  11 dec 1999: We're almost ready
>  You can soon visit our new web site Global100.com every day! This web
site
>  is going to be the professional successor to the well known web site
>  worldcharts.com. During the last year we've spent many sleepless nights
>  writing a very advanced on-line charts engine. You are definately going
to
>  enjoy all the marvelous things we will be able to show you. At this time
there
>  are only a limited number of web pages available on the new site, and we
>  kindly ask you to help us testing and improving them. Everything is new
there,
>  so don't be surprised when you find that some of the things aren't
working
>  properly yet. We're working our asses off trying to get everything to run
>  smoothly. And the pages you find there are only the tip of the iceberg.
With
>  our new on-line database and software we have lots and lots of surprises
for
>  you up our sleeves. Go to http://www.global100.com to check it out. And
be
>  sure to come back regulary and see what we've improved and/or added to
the
>  site. Enjoy!
>
>  11 dec 1999: World Charts shutting down soon
>  The Global100 web site is the new and improved version of the former
>  WorldCharts web site. This means that worldcharts.com will be shutting
down in
>  a few weeks. All the charts will be transferred to Global100, including
all
>  historical data about previous issues and the votes from our readers. For
now
>  the Global100 web pages are being TESTED. This means that the official
charts
>  are still running on World Charts, and the Global100 pages contain real
and
>  fake test data. We will properly announce to all our readers the exact
moment
>  when the voting booth on worldcharts.com will be disabled and the voting
booth
>  on global100.com will be for real.

>  11 dec 1999: Start Up of the Year
>  Millidian is the name of the new company that owns and operates the
global
>  charts, as it was previously done by World Charts Foundation. On December
9
>  Millidian won the Business Plan 1999 contest (in The Netherlands),
earning the
>  title "Start Up of the Year". Millidian had the best plan, strategy and
>  presentation of 600 contestants. A summary of the presentation (in Dutch)
can
>  be found on the Contact page.
>
>  15 dec 1999: Beta-test now open!
>  The Global100 web site is now ready to be tested. Please have a look
around,
>  try some of the features, and tell us if you like it. Note that this is
NOT a
>  stress or security test. We know there are ways to bring each web server
to
>  its knees, including this one. That's not the point of this beta-test. We
just
>  want to know if you have comments or ideas about the features and the
design.
>  Thanks for helping us to improve this free service!
>
>  17 dec 1999: Lots of new features
>  It's almost impossible to tell you about all the new stuff that you will
be
>  able to find on the Global100 site now and later next year. Many of the
things
>  we're working on right now deal with boring technical stuff behind the
scenes.
>  However, there are a few new features I'd like to point out to you... 1)
New
>  calculations of the charts will take place several times a day. This
means you
>  don't have to wait an entire week to find out what's happening on the
charts.
>  You can review new results every day! 2) It's finally possible to add
your own
>  requests to our database and vote for them immediately. The titles you
add will
>  be assigned a new ID number straight away. There's no need to wait for us
>  anymore, it's all in your own hands now! 3) All previous issues of all
the
>  charts are now available in a proper lay-out. These are just a few of
many new
>  features coming your way. We'll let you know when something new is worth
>  checking out.
