Internet Evolution was a website which hosted discussion of news, analysis and opinion related to the future of the Internet. It was originally conceived as a publishing experiment by writer and media consultant Stephen Saunders with the goal of using very large amounts of proprietary content to create a highly qualified, highly engaged online community. Internet Evolution was launched in October, 2007 by UBM Techweb with sponsorship from technology and consulting firm IBM.
In 2010, UBM launched DeusM, a start-up company, with the intention of repeating the Internet Evolution model.[1][2][3] Stephen Saunders became Managing Director of DeusM which went on to launch another seven online communities in 2011.
Updated several times daily, the content at Internet Evolution included opinion pieces written by editorial staff, independent analysts and registered members of its community, as well as streamed video content and live chats.[4] Internet Evolution Radio also streams interviews with Internet analysts and opinion-formers.
Contributors to the site have included Parry Aftab, Jart Armin, Robert D. Atkinson, John Barnes, Vint Cerf, Cory Doctorow, Tom Hayes, Andrew Keen, Paul Levinson, Kate Pullinger, Lawrence Roberts, Howard Schmidt and Stephen Viscusi. Guests on live streaming IE Radio have included Craig Newmark, Jason Calacanis, Aneesh Chopra, Clay Shirky, Ellen Miller, Philip Rosedale, Jimmy Wales, Gil Elbaz, Andrew Keen, and Richard Boly.
Editorial content from Internet Evolution was featured in national and local media.[5]

Sixty Days of Executive Education[edit]
In 2010, Internet Evolution ran a series known as "6DEE" (Sixty Days of Executive Education), which featured courses aimed to help executives understand Internet-related IT issues.[6] The series was launched with a lecture by Tim Westergren, a co-founder of Pandora, and continued with presentations by speakers such as the writer and engineer Kenneth Hess and writer and activist Cory Doctorow. The 6DEE series won the 2011 Min's WOW Award.
