Wouldn't you sometimes like to see what a certain site looked like in it's early days?

Here's the tool to do that: the Wayback Machine. A cool site that archives a site's appearance in certain intervals since the beginning. Can be useful at times and it's certainly fun to see how some sites have developed and changed over the years...

Allmightys certainly looks different since the early days ;)

Here is "a visual search assistant that allows for intuitive exploration of popular online databases, including Amazon, Ebay, Flickr or YouTube. All search results are ordered as a “grid“, “stack“, “pile“ or “list“ through which users can browse & store favourites in a personal folder. in addition, a simple scatterplot representation depicts the results in terms of popularity & price (Amazon), price versus duration (Ebay) & ranking versus date (YouTube)."

looks useful for browsing as well as a detailed search, as you can obtain useful information about the articles straight through oSkope.

Welcome to the Obsolete Technology Website.

This is a fun page to browse through. Next to a detailed page for most expired models, you can find old ads, compare the specs of old computers and find lots of links to similar sites.
