The Evolution of Websites

My coworker found this article *shout out to Darren* at work the other day. It's comparisons of major websites from when they first launched to now.
The author Samuel points out a few extinct snippets from web history I remember so well:

  • "Best Viewed with IE" badge
  • left-aligned website - A personal hated favourite
  • Java versions of sites

The older sites seem hilarious now but I have to give them cred - I remember my first site, 200k images you needed to scroll from side to side to see.
