Louis J. Montulli II (més conegut com a Lou Montulli) és un programador reconegut per la seva tasca en creació de navegadors web. El 1991 i el 1992, durant la seva estada a la Universitat de Kansas, va ser autor d'un navegador web en mode text anomenat Lynx, juntament amb Michael Grobe i Charles Rezac. Aquest navegador web va ser un dels primers a estar disponible i encara avui en dia s'utilitza.
Carrera[modifica]
El 1994 va esdevenir un dels enginyers fundadors de Netscape Communications i va programar el codi de xarxes per les primeres versions del navegador web de Netscape. També va ser el responsable de diverses innovacions als navegadors, com les galetes, l'etiqueta parpellejant (<blink>), la tecnologia push i and client pull, HTTP proxying, and encouraging the implementation of animated GIFs into the browser. While at Netscape, he also was a founding member of the HTML working group at the W3C and was a contributing author of the HTML 3.2 specification. He is one of only five (or six) inductees in the World Wide Web Hall of Fame announced at the first international conference on the World Wide Web in 1994.[1][2]
In 1998 he became a founding engineer of Epinions.com which is now a Shopping.com company.
In 2002, he was named to the MIT Technology Review TR100 as one of the top 100 innovators in the world under the age of 35.[3]
In 2004 he became co-founder and CEO of Memory Matrix, which was acquired by Shutterfly Inc. in May 2005. Montulli served as Vice President of Client Engineering at Shutterfly through the summer of 2007.
In 2008 he became co-founder of Zetta Inc.
Ongoing projects[modifica]
While working on the Netscape browser, Lou built the Fishcam, one of the earliest live image websites,[4] famously built in to early versions of the Netscape browser as the Fishcam Easter egg.[5] The company Netscape hosted this fishcam until long after they were no longer Netscape. After a short hiatus, in 2009 it found a new host; still one of the longest (nearly) continuously running live websites.
