The Internet Consortium created an amazing visualisation of the evolution of the Australian interwebs. Not only is the flash animation a trip, but it also has some amazing utility – including the ability to filter by category, compare across multiple metrics and follow the progress (or in some cases, deterioration) of major websites.

I’m partial to social media, so I particularly enjoyed watching Facebook enter in the eleventh hour and stomp all over MSN and MySpace!

Anyway, it certainly beats the heck out of the stock standard Excel scatter charts.
