Take a trip back in Google time
4th October 2008 by David North
I’ve been meaning to post this for a while but a certain screaming baby has been occupying a lot of my time.
A few weeks ago it was Google’s 10th birthday and they’ve made available the oldest index they still have so take a trip back in time to January 2001. It’s really interesting to see the results for some search terms - iPod doesn’t relate to anything Apple at all!
1,326,920,000 pages? Not a lot on current standards is it?
Love that. I remember being told about two important websites many years back (maybe even pre 2001). One was scour.com which was a site that indexed MP3s and the other was this weirdly named site called Google.
It’ll never last though.
