[Air-l] surfing - when and who coined the term

[Rune Dalgaard]

Hi all

A question some might readily know the answer too.

Is it known when and by whom the notion of 'surfing' was introduced to
describe browsing/navigation/information seeking on the web?

I never thought that the concept was particularly fit but I would like to
know its genealogy in the context of the web/hypertext).

Thanks,
Rune
