A decade -- 10 years. Doesn't sound like much, right?

But a decade ago, the big social networking story was Friendster with a whopping 3 million users. Microsoft's Internet Explorer had 95 percent market share. And less than 600 million people were online globally ... fewer than Facebook users alone in 2012.

10 years, 3,652 days, 87,648 hours.

A lot has changed since Apple was touting a new 700 MHz iBook and iPhoto 1.1. Blockbuster went from $5.5 billion in revenue to a big bloody hole in the ground, and Yahoo went from Internet behemoth to will-Marissa-Mayer-be-able-save-it.
