Google is 10 years old this year--which is a surprise. It seems it has been around forever. In honor of its birthday, Google has made one its earliest indexes (2001) of the Web available for the curious to search. The Washington Post has an interesting article about its efforts at searching "old" Google. The article is here. Not much for Wikipedia, Facebook is still limited to a few Ivies, and blogging is just taking off (according to US News and World Report, 1.15.01). If you want to llik at what was actually on a site back then, try the Internet archive Wayback Machine.
The Google site will be up until the end of the month at Google.com/search2001.html.
