Google time machine

[burdt]

for their tenth anniversary celebration google has decided to let you search their old index. this is how the internet was back in 2001.

http://www.google.com/search2001.html

I looked up coachella and i saw how their page was back in two thousand and one. myspace is a storage service, facebook is an incidental phrase in unrelated pages. this is seriously awesome internet nostalgia.

here's the old coachella page:

[burdt]

it blew my mind. you can't even find sarah palin by looking her up directly. you wouldn't think 10 years ago would be so different.

7 years ago...but yeah, it's funny to look at some old sites back then.

seems like sites mainly used frames back then as well...too funny.

[burdt]

true that, 7 years ago. oh the internet, some things never change.

Coachella was 65 bucks?!

based on the title of this thread I was very disappointed when I clicked in and saw what it was actually about.

[Quadromarshia]

I just searched for "hamster dance" for the first time in 10 years.

You weren't the only one...thought maybe, just maybe, Google could help me go back and wrong some of the rights I did back in the day...

[burdt]

but then you'd end up in heroes season 3. not good.

[MissingPerson]

With how much money they're commanding, I don't think that would be all that bad. Now, if it were to come to fruition--then you do have a point.

[kreutz2112]

when you googled "porn" in 2001 there were 4,490,000 results. In 2008 there are 223,000,000. That's actually not that impressive.

[whynotsmile99]

our children are going to be so spoiled.

i'll have to keep them in check by reminding them of when I was a youngin and only had 4 million porn sites to look at

[burdt]

i figured the old google index would be good for searching people who werent totaly famousl in 2001. i think i found amy winehouses old address. i sent her an email in hopes i could change her life now. but that was false hope in the sense obama will win. i'm pretty drunk on potato vodka so i'm sure i'm rambling now. but what the hey. i think i found michael cera's old email address too. here's to hoping they reply.

either way, i hope this has brought some old ass memories to those who have been around from the very beginning.

here's to a few more coachellas.

Branded!-3/7, 03:28 pm-First, Black Jack Johnson will probably

for a moment there I thought 'holy crap! we've complained about him since the dawn of time'. but then I realized that's not JJ at all.

it's interesting how that board allowed anonymous posting. and it looks like it was all one long thread? madness.
