Ever Wonder?
Assalam Alikom wa rahmat ALLAH
Peace and Blessings be upon you
Hello Everybody
Everyday we site in front of our computers to surf the internet for websites according to everybody’s interest. However, did you ever wonder how those websites looks like in the very beginning?
Wayback Machine provides an answer for this curious question. There you’ll find a huge archive for over 55 billion web pages, from 1996 to few months ago. Archives are listed according to the dates under each year, starting from 1996 up to 2005 until this post was written.
For example, this is how Blogger looks like in 1999. In case you don’t know, blogger had started as a tiny company called Pyra Labs in 1999 before Google bought them in 2002, so in this screen shot - which I took when I visited the 1st page provided in the archive - you’ll see at the far right the copyright as follows: Copyright (c)Pyra Labs Ltd.
So, why don’t you take the journey back to the year 1996 and see how famous websites looks like?
Maybe you discover that some of them we not born yet by 1996, however you’ll find them in the following years.
Funny, isn’t it? [

A blog that renders the perspective of a Muslim Egyptian guy living on planet Earth, who believes that Imagination is more important than knowledge, yet the possession of knowledge dose not kill the sense of wonder!

Technical Note - Again, seems like my blog was not accessible today for some time. There was a failure in one of the servers as blogger team posted in this post. I appologise for inconvinece.

Very interesting, stuff. I am glad I didn’t start a blog in ‘96. Smile.

Aiman - Yup, very interesting indeed. It’s very funny to see those websites. However, it’s all about the technologies of those old days which were used to create/publish different websites.
I’m pretty sure that after few years from now, what we are using now will be old and other people will come and laught at it
