There are search engines and then there are search engines. This search engine I am talking about is gonna knock your socks off! So keep reading. This is definitely one you’d wanna bookmark!
Imagine Google could time travel! Pretty neat huh. That’s exactly what this search engine does. It gives you your search hits in chronological order. Just for fun, say you typed “www.google.com” in their search box. It will give you a list of results for the Google homepage in 1998,1999,2000… up to the present. Pretty cool huh? This is great for historians and web developers to see the evolution of the web in a whole new way. Also if you forgot to backup your site and the web host went down with your site. This is a great way for you to get your lost site back.It is all in the “Wayback machine”!
Looking at the look and feel of some of the old sites. You can’t keep from smiling at the primitiveness. But in those days, these sites were top notch. The best sites on the net.
Here are some well known sites with their past selves,
- Google.com [1998]>>
- Yahoo.com [1998]>>
- Sourceforge.org [2000]
>>
Additionally, the site is an online museum dedicated to all things wayback. You can get rare images, videos, audio etc.. All from this great site. So here is the site,
