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,

I've just seen http://www.collectivate.net/journalisms/how-the-social-web-came-to-be-part1.... - which was a link from Steven Downes' OL Daily email. It's focussing on the "Social" web, but seems to have a reasonable overview of the Internet. (Goes back to 1746, though it's actually dated 1945-2002. Not yet seen part two) Emma -- New URL: Blog: http://userweb.port.ac.uk/~duke-wie/blog/
