Old Google! Check it out:

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

See what interesting searches you can do. It's strange searching for 9/11 and having nothing come up, also searching for really famous bands around today and seeing sites treat them as a small local group new to the scene is quite funny.

Mmm . . . 7 year-old porn . . .

No, wait! That's not what I meant, don't arrest me Mr. Dateline! NOOOO!!!!

Man, Obama was a small-fry back then. Sarah Palin was completely unknown. 9/11 refers to 9-11. Wow, it's very different. No NS either. :O

Man that's spooky. I really think Google should keep this up, and make a new (record?) like this every 10 years or so. It's like a virtual time capsule.

Interesting site I found: http://web.archive.org/web/20011120051430/members.aol.com/kurellian/s2008.html

Those were the days, my friend. But they had to end.

My minds gone blank for some reason, what really important events have happened since 2001?

Hmm, apparently the Americans 'war against terror' started before 9/11. Yes it had of course, but I didn't realise they called it that even before 9/11. http://web.archive.org/web/20011217200923/www.economist.com/

Edit: or not, apparently that site is from December.

No such thing as Facebook or MySpace at least in the sense that we would know them as.

I just googled myself on the old one and compared it with the new.

In the 2001 version there is 1 match

In the current one there are 103,000 mathces.

Mmm . . . 7 year-old porn . . .

A lot of the Thumbnails are not archived so you can see the text and a few pictures.

Rio takes MP3 to the streets

The controversial Rio MP3 player will go on sale in the UK next week, with no sign of the British record industry imitating its American counterpart in appealing to the courts to ban it.

Some 1,500 Rio units are expected from Taiwan by the weekend and should be available in specialised computer shops by Monday. Bigger retailers, such as the Dixons group, could be selling the Rio by mid-month at less than £200.

The Rio went on sale in the States in Thanksgiving week, priced at around $200. It looks and sounds like an unassuming Walkman, although in a smaller, cigarette-packet size. But inside, the unit has no moving parts, with a 32MB flash memory card instead, capable of storing 74 minutes of high-quality music in the MPEG layer 3 compressed file format (around 30 minutes at the popular 128kbps rate).

Man, look at the first NS. Ancient.

Damn. I guess I got a good deal on the one I bought second-hand for $35, after all. All these years I thought I'd taken a bath on that. :tongue:

i'm a bit surprised at nothing comming up for 9-11, because when the events of that day happened in 2001, amy (goodman; democracy now) was doing an in depth on an earlier 9-11, i forget which, possibly aliende having shot himself in the back a bunch of times with a sub-machine gun. i know there have been a number of interesting and tragic things happen on that date in previous decades, possibly even centuries.

i liked to google up "themnax", and see all the hundreds of wierd interesting places i have over the time of the internet and my access to it existing and from bbs's that existed before, my running off at the keyboard on them.

i really very much prefer a web index which does NOT reguard someone trying to sell something as somehow more, i forget the word they use, pertinant, then the kinds of sites and things i AM interested in.

i think this so called "relivance" or whatever it is that they call it, has really screwed up what the internet, at least for me, is all about.

It's an index from January 2001.;)

I did a few searches and I realised how much things have changed since 2001; quite scary actually in a way

It's an index from January 2001.;)

sad. that's probably too recent. i mean since all this relivance b.s. i really think google, and the whole internet, was more usefull before bizdroidism over ran the place.

vcl was still vixen controlled library and there was a place called ancient sites, ah yes, and i was still very much active on elfwood, using autocad 14.0 and had no idea yet that something called blender existed yet, or would. the site hip forums was a lot different, and possibly, maybe, though i'm not sure about this, zenzibar still existed as a link farm to things strainge and interesting on the net. also my own website, the lananaran embassy, was still, i was still updating it. apparently jps was still my isp, hadden't been bought out yet, and was still providing free webspace to subscribers.

those are all things that were pretty cool to me.

"Oil - Plentiful and cheap" :p

Gold was only $274.10 an oz.



I wish I would have invested.

Oh, for the days of my (relative) youth.

Man, look at the first NS. Ancient.

It didn't exist 'till late 2001. Or was it 2003? I can't remember.

Top entry. I had the same curiosity.

Mmm . . . 7 year-old porn . . .

No, wait! That's not what I meant, don't arrest me Mr. Dateline! NOOOO!!!!
