Today in Tech On this day in 1999 the famous lingerie brand Victoria's Secret held their very first online fashion show, which became the world's first major webcast. The show attracted an estimated 1.5 million viewers from 90 countries around the world, and there could have been more had the technology of the time been able to keep up. Days earlier the company had released an ad spot on the Super Bowl and within minutes, a million people had already logged on to the site, causing it to crash. Because of the sheer amount of viewers and limited server space, many were denied access to the online show. Help Wanted RASD is platform for agile and quick development of web business applications.
