The Internet Archive
he Internet Archive may be one of the most fascinating tools around the Web. It holds over 100 terabytes (100,000,000 megabytes) of material, going back to 1996. You can now see your favourite sites and today’s large companies as they appeared in their ‘diapers’. Here are a few examples:
Yahoo! Inc. in 1996 and today; Slashdot in 1997 and today. Also have a peek at Jeff Zeldman, one of the fathers of Web standards and design, in 1996 and today. Chasing your favourite sites back in time can provide long hours of fun.
