Since I had so much fun working awhile back in publishing 10 Popular Sites, How They Once Looked, I decided to dig into some other sites using one of my favorite tools, The WayBack Machine. This is the first of two entries I’ll be publishing the next few days.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this entry so far. If you haven’t tried the WayBack Machine, I highly recommend you do so. It’s a great way to kill some time & see how today’s top dogs started out. It should also give you confidence in knowing that almost all of these sites started out looking not so great. Feel free to share any sites you find that are interesting.
