Go Web 0.5 With The Wayback Machine

Here’s a little news flash for everyone. Just about everything that was ever on the web could potentially still be found on the Internet. I don’t think many people realize that as they do what they do on their favorite websites.

The Wayback Machine is proof of just how far back you can go to find something you’d thought was hidden from everyone from now on. That’s not the case. As with the example shown in the screenshot above, each of those links are a snapshot of my personal website going back as far as 1998. A snapshot was taken each month and you can see how the design has changed and progressed through that time.

The text is all visible that was on the site each of those times, but any images that were part of the webpage are not available if they’re still not on the server in the locations specified with the original page.

It’s so crazy to go back and see these old versions of sites and how they looked all those years ago. You can use the Wayback Machine to find an old version of just about any website.
