I am talking about the Internet initiative to index and store websites as they were in the past.
To some this may seem trivial or pointless, but to me this is awesome!
I knew about it for some time as I always saw links to it on the Alexa website.
But I never really gave it a shot.
Once I tried it to bring up some early images of myAskTheAdminand I was hooked.
So don’t say Make Use Of doesn’t contribute to your delinquency!
But remember if anyone asks, let’s just call it market research!
Alrighty then enough of the introduction lets take you back… WAY BACK!
You will then see a grid with what date data is available for the site you entered.
A lot of the external references have been maintained as well.
The end result is like walking around a ghost town or peeking back into the past.
Be forewarned it isaddictive.
What could be addictive about an archive of websites?
It went off-line because you couldn’t pay the bills?
Now you’re free to see it again!
you’ve got the option to go check out how your favorite sites developed and continue to develop.
That has to be the justification for me just wasting 3 hours of my day.
Hold on that’s the support line ringing…
Yeah let them wait!
