I've just seen http://www.collectivate.net/journalisms/how-the-social-web-came-to-be-part1.html
- which was a link from Steven Downes' OL Daily email.

It's focussing on the "Social" web, but seems to have a reasonable
overview of the Internet. (Goes back to 1746, though it's actually
dated 1945-2002. Not yet seen part two)
