Time Machine

One day going through my routine web surfing to find out new things that are happening around the web sphere. I stumbled upon something old and antique, thanks to way back machine which caches the websites home pages in its archives(i am not sure if its just the home pages or if they do also cache internal pages).

They have been in existence since 1996 and have crawled about 85 billion web pages, this is what the info on their home page tells. You just need to go to this URl http://www.archive.org/web/web.php type the website URL you want to see the past of and click on the button which very interestingly reads "Take me back"

The site i saw in making was that of Yahoo, must tell, it did remind me of the old web and how far we have moved ahead since then...might be a point in time when the web we are using these days look this retro as the yahoo pages did to me.... With web 3.0 knocking at our doors its not to far that the way we use the medium changes all together and takes us to an different altitude.

YAHOO!!! Through the Time Machine...
