Search Google from January 2001

October 5, 2008 - 12:52pm — Jaclyn_McKewan

The blog for Mental Floss magazine reports that Google has posted a version of itself as it appeared in January 2001 (the earliest available index). They say, "Searches for today’s staple websites like Flickr, Twitter, and Digg turn up lots of interesting results, but of course the services themselves didn’t exist yet...Go search for yourself and see how things have changed in seven years. Note that the index will only be available for one month, so get it while it’s, uh, hot and very stale?"

searched for Clinton and Enron

and oil priced at $33 a barrel... and flight schools that cater to teaching how to take off but not how to land... finding only 194, 000 stories for world trade center attack (the first one) compared to 22 million today.

and the first hit for George W. Bush says, "George W. Bush is running for President of the United States to keep the country prosperous."

who'da thunk? January 2001 was like paradise compared to today.
