For the last three months I've been researching and writing the largest, most comprehensive feature I've ever written. It covers 50 of the most significant moments of Internet history, spanning five decades, and ten subject areas, detailing what they were, why they happened, why they were important and why you should know about them.

Hopefully everyone will agree with many of them, and add their own suggestions here in the forums.

The feature is live in Crave, here.

Which of the 50 are your favourites?
What else would you add to the list?
Do you think anything from the 'notable mentions' should've made the main list?

Love to know what you think.

Bookmarked it earlier on, Nate. Haven't had time to read it yet, looking forwards to it though.

That is indeed an epic article. Enjoyed reading that along with trying to set my own historical context on it. Trying to remember what I was up to at the time.

One thing though - bad idea putting a link to the article about Flash games, made me take twice as long to finish reading laugh

Not significant enough to the Internet IMO.
