Historical Internet Archives

I first came across this useful resource 10+ years ago and thought that I should share it. This tool has come in useful (for historical and content purposes) to view the layout and content of websites and to see how they have changed over the years. The 'Wayback Machine' achives the websites so that you can see how they looked over time. It's an interesting look at the web and its evolution.

To view the Wayback Machine, use one of the links below. The original 'Wayback Machine' can be found on the first URL, but they have not included a separate website for an updated website with a timeline interface. (The original one seems to have stopped archiving, so the recent archives can be found on the second URL.)

Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org
Wayback Machine (Beta 2): http://waybackmachine.org/

Simply visit a website, such as Yahoo!, and see how it has evolved over time, from its early days (the 'Wayback Machine' starts to archive data from 1996) to today.
