There were other successful internet projects before hypertext transport protocol (world wide web).

Enabling technology was TCP/IP

Also the Xanadu project struggled with making hypertext usable.

>Charles S. Smith, the founder of a company called Memex (named after a hypertext system proposed by Vannevar Bush [3]), hired many of the Xanadu programmers and licensed the Xanadu technology, though Memex soon faced financial difficulties, and the then-unpaid programmers left, taking the computers with them (the programmers were eventually paid). At around this time, Tim Berners-Lee was developing the World Wide Web. When the Web began to see large growth that Xanadu did not, Nelson's team grew defensive in the supposed rivalry that was emerging, but that they were losing. The 1995 Wired Magazine article "The Curse of Xanadu," provoked a harsh rebuttal from Nelson, but contention largely faded as the Web dominated Xanadu. [4]>
