Neopets, Part 1: The History of Neopets

<p>Liam guides Louise through the storied history of Neopets in part 1 of a very special series on the virtual world that taught us to code, care, and collect currency. Join us to hear how Neopets evolved from a side-project, tried new forms of online advertisement, and – through a series of acquisitions and the death of Flash Player – became what it is today.</p> <p> </p> <p>Links from the episode:</p> <p>- Check out <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/c/Izzzyzzz">izzzyzzz on YouTube</a></p> <p>- <a href= "https://hosting.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kittymonroe/Stuff/Oldpets.jpg%20"> Original pets</a></p> <p>- Macy Gray <a href= "https://bookofages.jellyneo.net/history/old-pets/?species=kau">was a Neopet</a> with her <a href= "https://64.media.tumblr.com/200743082c3d12b142fff3a52c0dcfff/9b23341a0e0daa40-77/s250x400/9f74bfcb36c36bc22b4ba5599f89282281d8f0ae.gifv"> own house</a></p> <p>- <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qgunFNiJqQ">Neopets short on Nickelodeon's Nick Extra</a></p> <p>- JumpStart made <a href= "https://youtu.be/Af09KM26YP4?t=539">licensed Mario games</a></p>
