Yesterday, when I was looking for the Katrina Remembrance Dinner website, I was reminded just how useful the Way Back Machine is!
Need to find a website that doesn't exist anymore? Type the old URL in the web search box at the Way Back Machine and click Take Me Back, Chances are, the old web site has been archived.
The Way Back Machine will return a form showing every available version of the site that has been stored in the Way Back archive. (Here's mine) Click on the date to see exactly what the web site looked like on that date.
Do you ever do a search on Google -- and a web site is returned in the search results, that from its description, sounds like it is exactly what you were looking for -- and you click on it, only to find it no longer exists? No problem, plug its URL into the Way Back Machine.
Do you have a strong stomach? Plug your own website into the Way Back Machine for a trip down memory lane. Here's what we looked like in 1996. I thought it was pretty cool at the time. Take a look here http://web.archive.org/web/19961019224336/http://bob-taylor.com/ . Get a look at me when I only had one gray streak, instead of a full head of silver. <s>
