We’ve seen companies and people do some inventive things with Facebook’s Timeline feature, but this project may take the cake.
Grovo, a company looking to better educate people about common web and mobile products, has curated the entire history of the Internet on one single Facebook Timeline.

Check out the many cool happenings of the 1990s in particular — the good old dot-com days. Also, can you believe the U.S. military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was founded in 1958? The agency has done lots of truly mind-boggling research in those fifty-some years. And it only took six years after the invention of email in 1972 for spam emails to show up.
