Poll: Google the best of the Web

"Google is the most significant development in the 15-year history of the World Wide Web, according to a poll of CNN.com users," reports CNN.

"Nearly 18,000 CNN.com users voted in the three-week online survey, part of Spark's look at the Web's defining moments since Tim Berners-Lee launched the multimedia branch of the Internet in 1990."

Comment: You can still vote for one item from a list of 10 using CNN's Quick Vote panel. But just to spoil it for you, there are only three significant votes:

Google 41% 7,515 votes Dotcom boom/bust 19% 3,479 votes 9/11, and the rise of citizen journalism 12% 2,173 votes

How times change: the launch of the Netscape Navigator browser didn't even make the list. Nor did Yahoo.
