Usenet creator Jim Ellis
dies HARMONY, Pa. (AP) — Jim Ellis, who helped
create the information-sharing electronic bulletin boards that predated the World
Wide Web, has died. He was 45.Ellis, who had been battling
non-Hodgkins lymphoma for two years, died at home in Beaver County early Thursday,
said his wife, Carolyn.Most recently an Internet security
consultant with Sun Microsystems, Ellis was one of the creators of Usenet, which
linked computers and allowed people to share information and reply to messages.Usenet
began in 1979 when Ellis and another Duke graduate student, Tom Truscott, thought
of hooking together computers to share information. At the beginning of 1980,
the network consisted of two sites at Duke and one at the University of North
Carolina.Usenet quickly became a popular means of trading
and sharing information internationally before the World Wide Web came into existence.By
using bulletin boards — later called newsgroups — people who were linked
to the system could share information and hold discussions. By late 1999, the
number of newsgroups was estimated at more than 37,000.Allan
Fisher, chief executive officer of Carnegie Technology Education, a subsidiary
of Carnegie Mellon University which develops Web-based courses, said Usenet could
be considered "the first big community application" of an interconnected system
of computers."The social importance was it allowed
this community building and prefigured a lot of what happened on the Web," Fisher
said.Ellis and the other creators of Usenet, including
Steve Bellovin and Steve Daniel, made no money from it, said Carolyn Ellis, because
it was not set up as a commercial venture."They launched
this thing and had no idea where it was going," she said.After
working in North Carolina, Ellis and his wife moved to western Pennsylvania in
1986 when he took a position with the Super Computing Center in Pittsburgh. Later,
he joined Sun Microsystems, working from his home in western Pennsylvania."He
had a good wit. He loved bridge. He loved his family of course," Carolyn Ellis
said. "He was not afraid of his impending death."Copyright
