Two decades later, websites are unrecognizable from that first spawn.
Quickly dubbed the "Nurse with Wound list," it became a go-to resource for fans seeking equally outré sounds — a role typically played in dance culture by DJ top tens in dance magazines and, later, websites from Beatport to Resident Advisor.
That didn't get much uptake (people didn't want to create yet another account), so the site later allowed websites to merge the toolbar with their own user account systems — which has fared better.
Hours later its website went offline.
Four days later, the website Buzzfeed said the image had been turned into a "huge meme" by users in a photo shop competition.
Minutes later a website of the African National Congress (ANC), South Africa's ruling party, went offline: another victim of the oldest and crudest form of cyber-assault, a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.
Google, which owns YouTube, later told website The Verge that engineers "saw this coming a couple months ago and updated our systems to prepare for it".
More than 20,000 Facebook "likes" later, the website of conservative pundit Glenn Beck shared the good news that, "much to [Kahan's] surprise, the data found a strong correlation between science comprehension and self-identified TEA Party members".
A week later, the website was launched.
