Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Throbber" in English language version.
Animated icons that are used to replace the "meteor shower" icon in Netscape Navigator. Taken from the nickname given to the original Netscape logo, which appeared to throb during document transfers. New icons, such as the J. R. "Bob" Dobbs throbber, are currently traded over the Net.
Netscape, which soon overtook Mosaic as the market-leading web browser, featured a throbber. In version 1.0 of Netscape, this took the form of a big blue "N" (Netscape's logo at the time). The animation depicted the "N" expanding and contracting – hence the name "throbber" (now you know!!). When Netscape unveiled its new logo (a different "N" on top of a hill), they held a competition to find an animation for it. The winning design (featuring the new-look "N" in a meteor shower) became very well-known and almost became an unofficial symbol of the World Wide Web Later. Internet Explorer's blue "e" enjoyed similar status, though it only functioned as a throbber in early versions of the browser.
