The True Story of The Internet

Times like this I really need TiVo or Charter’s DVR. Last night I was flipping through the channels, and I stopped on Discovery when I realized they were running a special about Google called Download: The True Story of the Internet. The special was all about the startup of Google, and I saw some very interesting stuff.

I watched the part where Excite totally turned down Google when they were approached to buy the company for $1 million. That’s laughable now that Google’s worth is in the billion dollar range. I would have loved to have watched the entire show, but I tuned in late, and my eyes were closing on me.

I would have loved to had the chance to watch the entire show, but oh well. The next two episodes look pretty interesting, too. The March 29th show looks even better.

This is the story of the internet has changed society and how a new breed of entrepreneurs are shaping our digital futures.

I wonder if that one will have anything about bloggers in it?
