Internets top 100 - just a yahoo advert!?

ok came across this linked on another forum - http://birthday.yahoo.com/netrospective/

with yahoo's 10yr bday they have listed their top 100 internet moments over the last 10yrs. But to me alot of them just look like adverts for yahoo

but it raises an intresting question what are your top internet moments? heh you dont have to list 100 but lets see what everyone comes up with.

I'll start :P

In no particular order

1. The start of instant messangers with ICQ
2. Flash Cult followings (All your base)
3. Napster launching file sharring into the mainstream
4. Google the *new* boy on the block shows all other search engines how it should be done
5. Blogger/Live journal etc give goth teens/attention whores/and bored housewives somewhere to show their ramblings to the rest of the world.
6. Lycos launch their DDoS screensaver to spam the spammers only to have their own servers taken down the next day.
7. Bash.org gives IRC geeks something to aim for ;)
8. Hackers (the film) inspires a generation of script kiddies

I think the set up and effects of that page are really great ....

viewing the source - That is just really great - Im really impressed with the effects on it .........

Can someone please explain to me exactly all that went into making this page ........

I noticed that there is alot of reference to macromedia flash in the source but no reference to the 100 photos - my javascript is rather basic in comparison (stretches about as far as functions and conditionals).

I really aspire to be able to make a page like that at some point in the future and if someone could give me a quick rundown on all the skills needed for this I can figure out where to start on my own.

And I still haven't seen reference to the photos - have they been added through an external application??

are you talking about the yahoo page?? errr its not javascript - right click anywhere on it and you get the flashcontext menu....kinda gives it away ;)

So is that entirely in Flash??

If I start to learn Flash, I will be able to make pages like that??

Val - your a Flash monkey - please point me in the right direction here ...... I want to learn

IcSilk - see my my reply to your PM with regards flash
