The History of LOL

  • Kealey Nutt
  • 00:05:48

The history of LOLs: a factual, semi-factual, and semi-imagined journey to discover the first ever use of LOL, how LOLs have evolved, and what makes a good LOL. Features LOLcats, science, personal experience, and a whole bunch of web faux-pas.

  • I'm a 24 year old girl who has grown up exploring the internet and discovering lols. I work in interactive media publishing my own online magazine called Thelma (thelmamagazine.com) and running a digital content production agency called Eleven & Twelve (elevenandtwelve.com). I spend 99% of my time working from Inspire9 coworking where I am 'the Director of LOLs' and bug everyone with my 'jokes'.
