Exactly 20 years ago, on May 24, 1998, timeanddate.com went live for the first time. And how we've grown! From a modest 24 visitors that first day, we now attract millions of users every day and rank among the 1000 top websites in the world.

The brainchild of a young engineer obsessed with time and brought to fruition in a college student's office, timeanddate.com is now a thriving, truly international enterprise with 20 coworkers based in the picturesque city of Stavanger, Norway. We don't often toot our own horn, but today, join us on a scroll down memory lane to see how far we've come.
