bianca.com, informally known as Bianca's Smut Shack, was an online community created on February 14, 1994, by a group of Chicago, later moved to San Francisco, dot-com software developers, including David Thau and Chris Miller. bianca was one of the web's first 500 content creations and was the world's first web-based chat room. It later also became a popular theme camp at Burning Man. In 1997 Radio Shack sought to prevent bianca's "Smut Shack" from using that name, citing their previous use of the word "shack" and claiming exclusive use. They later backed down from their legal action.
