Yahoo have put up what they call a “Netrospective” site detailing the important things that happened on the Internet while they’ve been around as part of their tenth birthday. There are some interesting items in the list even if it is somewhat time consuming to navigate.
For one thing, look at the bottom row third from the right icon, it’s a pic of the Firefox logo and it talks about the past and current browser wars. (Yahoo recently released their search tool bar for Firefox) Other interesting aspects relate to Ebay, Amazon, Napster and other such companies that revolutionised the way people used the Internet. If you can put up with the DHTML or Flash presentation, it makes for an interesting look at the Internet from Yahoo’s perspective.
