Remember the days when the word Google was not interchangeable with internet? Or when every site seemed to have a Netscape icon on it? Or when Flash was still something you cleaned your floor with? Then you were clearly using the web in the mid to late 1990s when pages were rudimentary affairs containing lists of links and information.
Thanks to the waybackmachine internet archive, we’re still able to see some of the Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 pioneers looked in their earliest incarnations.

Craig’s List doesn’t need the Wayback tool because he refuses to change anything.
I didn’t know Facebook was TheFaceBook. Sounds like McCain talking teh Internets.

I LOVE the Dell one
The most hilarious thing today: the cash for gold add goggle put on your site. LMFAO
