As we near the end of the year it’s time to reflect. One way is by using the Waybackmachine. This website has been crawling the internet for some time now and can take you back in time to see how websites looked back then.
For example:
- MTV.com now versus MTV.com then (22 december 1996). What a difference in 10 years.
- The NY Times (now) versus NY Times (nov 1996)
- CNN now versus the first time it can be traced back to the net (june 20 2000)
Some interesting facts:
- Blogger.com is first found on october 12th, 1999.
- BBC.co.uk first found on dec 21′st 1996
- Google: nov 11, 1998.
Just follow the link to the waybackmachine and see when youre favourite sites came up..
