The "Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link" (or WELL) is one of the first wide-ranging, informed, intelligent bulletin boards ( BBS) on the Internet. It was started by Stewart Brand and Larry Brilliant in 1985.

The name is partially a reference to some of Stewart Brand's earlier projects; see the Whole Earth Catalog.
