Ghostsites

Steve Baldwin has a really nice blog called Ghostsites which is dedicated to really old web pages and sites. A few entries that caught my eye:

• Is This the World’s Oldest Active Web Page?
• This Site Proudly Optimized for Netscape 2.0!
• The Museum of E-Failure

Baldwin also pointed out John Maeda’s (MIT) side-by-side comparison of Yahoo and Google’s root pages from 1996-2005 as obtained from the Internet Archive. The comparison points out the simplicity of the Google page when compared to the complex Yahoo page.
