Can we order posters of this graphic? The evolution is interesting to see detailed out, will there a graphic coming soon that predicts the future? :)

Wait--didn't Al Gore invent the Internet? 
 
All kidding aside, "Birth of the Internet Marketing Universe" is both informative and amusing. It also looks like a movie poster, which is very cool, because the format makes it memorable. Kudos to the designer.

OOPS--meant to say "Birth of the INBOUND Marketing Universe" in my previous post. Sorry about that!

I love infographics like this which compel us to step back and consider the amazing progession of technology. Thanks and please do more. 
 
One note: I believe Yahoo bought Geocities for about $3.6B, not $39B.

Awesome graphics. Kudos to the designer. We would love to get a poster also after 1 typo has been changed: Twitter Grader Lanched should be changed to Sept 19, 2008.

Scary. I remember publicizing one of the first Gui interface open platform software products for back-office financial operations in 1991. Not trying to get a 'gotcha' on the history timeline, but it did take me back! 
 
 
 
I definitely like where we are today!

That was very cool, I tweeted it since I thought it was a interesting share, suggest others to do the same. 
 
Thanks,

Very interesting. I, too, am interested in a poster.

Great snap shot of how things have progressed and again the acceleration at which it increases year on year. Who knows what 2010 will hold.
