The internet in 2001

Oct 3, 2008 Author: psousa | Filed under: Blog, Other, Web

In honor of  Google’s 10th birthday you can now take a look back at Google in January 2001 and find some interesting suprises or nostalgia, can you imagine internet without ebay, youtube, flickr, digg, netvibes, etc?

In 2001 you could buy the Titanium Powerbook G4 with Combo Drive from Apple, fantastic!

Wow, the Ipod could show six lines of text!

Yahoo is now revamping their design, why not take a look in 2001 and see how things have changed?

Microsoft also has improved it’s design since then….

Ruby was already around in 2001, here’s their page announcing version 1.6.5. :)

Portuguese portal SAPO was also very different back then…

Not many differences in W3C, bot look, it’s the first draft of XML 1.1. yay!

Also interesting, if you search for “Barack Obama” in 2001, you get 773 results, but today the same search gets 61.900.000 results. :)

There’s tons of other details and many things have changed, others remain the same I guess.

My new Moo Cards have arrived today. :)

This new set is more based in humor, so most of the images have some sort of reference and hidden message. More pics at my Flickr gallery.
Delivery time was excelent as always and just in time for the next conferences and events for this end of the year. :)

On a side note, I’ve recently upgraded my Macbook Pro memory to 4GB and I can really feel the performance difference. Recommended.
