Yahoo Netrospective…

A friend passed along a link to Yahoo!‘s 10th birthday “Netrospective.” Great interface design, intriguing use of comments to both foster dialogue and actually collect some history – seems like a really great exhibit, though one thing left a bad taste in my mouth. I know they’re your competitors and all, Yahoo!, but really – no mention of Google in the 100 canonical moments during the past 10 years of web history? Please.


Update: Ahem. Janet’s right. #17 is in fact a reference to Google, using the keyword “backrub” as a way to avoid putting the competitor’s name front and center. Please consider my above comment retracted.
