'Index contains ~25 million pages (soon to be much bigger)', a lot BIGGER

 

Are we that old? It seems like from a different century, and it is

 

it doesn't look like it has changed much...but that's probably the point.

 

Thats awesome lol. Webarchive 4tw.

 

old times, old memories... Great post.

 

They didn't change much LOL

 

Little did anyone know Google will become one of the biggest companies!

 

Although it's been posted before it's still neat to look in the past.

 

Nice to see the advance .

 

There still the same page, seems like they cleaned up alot

Quality Thread

I would think that the guys who remember Google like this, should be sitting pretty by now

 

It is interesting to see how Google has stuck with a fairly minimal page layout overall. Yahoo and Microsoft on the other hand have gotten way out of control with their page layouts and are almost confusing to look at anymore. It is hard to decipher between their content and ads most of the time. I actually like the way Yahoo looked better in their earlier days that is for sure. It is kind of nice that you can access the directory on the same page as the search engine. Microsoft back in the day looks like a scam website and over the years they only shown it in their products. Seems they were able to polish the turd of a website they had, but not the O/S. Nice post

Peace

 

I love the old, imageless sites. Smooth and easy to navigate.
