Google Yourself in 2001 and Drop a Reminder to Buy Google Stock
Posted 10/03/08 at 10:21:42 AM | by Paul Lilly
Don't own a DeLorean? Not to worry because you can still go back in time. Google turns a decade old this year, and to celebrate its 10th birthday, Google has brought back its oldest available search index.
"We had so much fun searching that we wanted to put this old index online for everyone to play with," blogs Shrin Oskoi, Product Manager. "We thought it'd be even cooler if we could actually see the full versions of the old web pages, so we worked with the Internet Archive to link to their cache of these pages from 2001."
Did you know that InfoGear put out an iPhone long before Apple turned the cellular landscape topsy turvy? And we bet you had no idea Michael Phelps invented a technique that allows imaging of biological processes in the organ systems of living individuals. Of course, that's Michael Phelps the accomplished scientist, not the record breaking Olympic swimmer.

After returning from 2001 and finding a number of page hits featuring me, I'm glad to report that there were absolutely no space-time continuum problems caused by my encounters with me. But then, based on some of the stories I've read, I might be the last to know.

It's amazing how illogical a business built on binary logic can be.
