You guys have to check this out! http://web.archive.org/web/19961025122722/http://www.microsoft.com/ This is what the Microsoft Website looked like in 1997. "Powered by Compaq" LMFAO!
They only go back to 2001 on Amazon. Sadly, they look about the same as they do now... http://web.archive.org/web/20010713162023/www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/home/home.html/
Google looks about the same as it did along time ago. Basically a search box. http://web.archive.org/web/19981202230410/http://www.google.com/
Look at their logo's though back then... they called them stickers! lmao http://web.archive.org/web/19990224043535/www.google.com/stickers.html
yahoo is horrible http://web.archive.org/web/19961017235908/http://www2.yahoo.com/ my little bro can do a better site than that
Lets have a mini contest! Who can find the "most improved" website out there? The company who has gone from lame to sweet. This is a good Sunday night distraction!
Actually, this is what I was talking about... http://www.bleakgeek.com/2005/07/08/amazoncom-10-years-later but here's a personal favorite from Google...
it's awesome to see what google was 7 years ago, they even had logos submited by users in one of those pages!.
I love this qoute from google: Damn, GIMP is a damn good program but I didn't know that google used it..
I just want to thank you for bringing this site to my attention. Personally, it inspires me. Just goes to show you, EVERYONE starts small. Really puts things into perspective and shows what can be achieved. I love that spinning google animated GIF! -boxer126
My site looks basically the same as it did in 1999 -- http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.mp2kmag.com http://www.mp2kmag.com Eric
Excellent thread, i love the way google and yahoo looked back in the days, the funny thin is i cant even remember using them in those days, cant remember what i use to use, or if i was even on the net.
