Jeremy: Very nice. An Excellent start on the timeline. I note the absence of ENIAC in 1946 - always deserves mention as the first all-electronic computer. Also add the Boston Computer Exchange in 1983 - the first e-commerce business (will be 25 years on March 4, 2008) Alex Randall ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeremy Depauw To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 6:18 AM Subject: Re: [Air-L] internet history timeline It is not perfect, but I've tried to make one myself.

Hi All,
I'm looking for a good history timeline of the internet. I've googled and I find the result bad. Most of them end in the nineties and Hobbes only goes to 2004. They also seem very eclectic and too centered on the US. Do any of you know of a good timeline? What I'm specifically looking for is examples of companies buying up sites with user generated content, one example would be when google acquired the Deja archive of usenet.
Best,
Søren Mørk
