Webwereld was founded in 1995 by Oscar Kneppers, who got the idea after visiting Silicon Valley in the summer of that year. [1] Another Dutch tech website Tweakers.net was founded in 1998 after Femme Taken concluded that the moderation on Webwereld was too strict. [2]
In August 2011, Webwereld published about court documents in the Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co. lawsuit.
