What did Google look like in 2001?

[yesthattom]

To celebrate the 10 year anniversary, Google dug up the 2001 search index and made a web site that lets you "search the web in 2001" thanks to the Wayback Machine's archive of what the internet looked like then:

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

Quote: "If you searched on "Michael Phelps" in 2001 for instance, you were probably looking for the scientist, not the swimmer, "ipod" didn't refer to a music player, and "youtube" didn't refer to much of anything."

It will only be up for a month. Search it now!

Aww, there's all this news about my employer at the time getting their B round that later fell through. Nostalgic, but sad.
