Online timeline

11 Oct 2005

Noticed this link in the Online-News email this morning. David Carlson has a comprehensive Online Timeline. Worth bookmarking!

A couple entries:

1969 -- CompuServe Information Service launches in Columbus, Ohio, as a computer time-sharing service.

1974 -- First Use of term "Internet" appears in a conference paper by Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn.

1980 -- Pac-Man, a successful video game, is released.

1992 -- Newspaper Association of America reports 11 newspapers have an online presence in the U.S. and Canada and more than 250 offer voice information services.

2004 -- Jan. 20: Apple's 4-gigabyte iPod Mini is released and sells well.

Dave, a professor at the University of Florida, is one of the pioneers in news online.

Thanks for a great timeline to keep it all straight!
