Google, Circa 2001

Posted by timothy on from the blast-in-the-present dept.

An anonymous reader writes "If you have 10 minutes to spare, take a look at an archive that Google has posted to mark the company's 10th anniversary. The search engine and its results are based on data from 2001, but it's interesting to see what turns up when popular 2008 terms are entered. For instance, iPod generates a reference to Image Proof of Deposit Document Processing System, and the 771 Barack Obama results centered around his duties as an Illinois State Senator."

    You know you've hit the good ol' days when you can type in "September 11" or "9-11" and have absolutely nothing pop up related to that day.

    How delightful. Sorry that's probably redundant but that had to be pointed out.
