If you've ever wondered how the Internet was born, but can't be bothered reading a whole book on the subject, check out this short animated documentary from Milah Bilgil. Entitled History of the internet, it does a great job explaining time-sharing, file-sharing, arpanet and internet. The video uses a new type of info-graphic called PICOL icons, which will soon be made available for free on picol.org.

onIt is quite a remarkable feeling to watch as the pieces fall into place and the picture, anticipated for so long, is finally revealed in all its splendour. As with any jigsaw that lacked a guiding picture on the box, the final result is that inevitable mix of vindication and surprise.

- jackv said: Now the idea here is that data is long lived not applications which imply that some of the issues around backup and archiving may be less important than we thought. If we are always using our data then it should not get stale or become unusable because applications change; backing up data will remain important especially multiple versions of the backup archive.

- Blackmail Is My Life said: This may be the most insightful thing Scoble's ever said about FriendFeed. If it's not meeting the basic need most people have for lifestreaming, i.e. condensing their online activity into one destination, then it's not working.
- Rob said: I totally agree. Twitter is constantly giving me new and interesting content to read. FriendFeed is too overwhelming, more so than even a bunch of unread feeds in Google Reader.

That I like FriendFeed and so does Robert Scoble and so do a few thousand other Web-addicted Silicon Valley-centric people doesn't matter very much.

Själv skulle jag gärna se mycket av FF funktioner inbyggda i GReader eftersom SharedWithNotes är ungefär en tredjedel av nyttan hos FF och fördelen där är att det är en coversation piece.
