About The Guest In 1981 Wes Kussmaul launched the world's first online encyclopedia, which quickly morphed into the Delphi social network and which, according to author Michael Wolff, was a main factor in the popularization of the internet. At the time it was sold to Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation in 1993, Delphi had been profitable for years and was among the four largest social networks, along with AOL, CompuServe and Prodigy. In 1986, while CEO of Delphi, Wes launched a spinoff, Global Villages, Inc. to serve magazine publishers and business clients with their own private-label social networks. In 1987 he turned his full time attention to Global Villages while retaining the chairmanship of Delphis board.
