The single largest online distribution point for science-fiction fanzines, eFanzines, was launched by Bill Burns on 7 December 2000 and recorded its 500,000th visit in December 2008. It was a Hugo Award finalist for "best web site" in 2005, one of only two occasions that category has appeared on the ballot. It has been a central part of opening up the science fiction fanzine world, which used to be difficult to find for those who were not already part of it.
