Yahoo! Netrospective: 10 years, 100 moments of the Web

“We thought Yahoo! Inc.’s 10th birthday would be a great excuse to take a look back and think about how the Internet has developed over the last ten years, becoming an essential part of all of our daily lives. We’ve created a special site, Yahoo! Netrospective: 10 years, which celebrates the web’s history over the last decade. We hope the Yahoo!

Netrospective: 10 Years was inspired by 10×10, an online artwork by Jonathan Harris. 10×10 automatically gathers the top 100 words and pictures in the world every hour, based on what’s happening in the news, and then displays these words and pictures in an interactive 10×10 grid.”
