| Post subject: | Google's tenth birthday |
To celebrate their 10th birthday, Google have put up a search engine with their oldest backup index set - 2001, and they've included crosslinks to the Internet Archive for old content that is no longer on the live web. For starters, it doesn't know who Sarah Palin is, so that's already ahead of the modern one in my opinion. WoS didn't exist either. Err, I've run out of cool searches. There must be more. |

Rock the fuck on, baby. It has a listing for my Green Day page, hahahaha, the first page I made on the t'internet. A quick search for my name reveals I was utterly unknown by Google back then. Sniff. |

I wish LOLCATS still didn't exist. I wonder by using the magical 2001 search I can eradicate it from history using some kind of wormhole. [SUB PLEASE INSERT SCIENCE] |

Good owd SCAT (the college!!) I remember fondly when some little sod decided to register that name under something else and the college was up in arms about it, good times, good times... Hold on... G-were you at Radbrook or London Road?! |

I was at London Road. And yes, the debacle with shrewsburycollege.co.uk in 2005 was very amusing. It was actually me that sorted it all out and managed to get the domain name back for the college using the dispute resolution procedures. Turns out it was a student that had registered the domain and filled it with scatological pictures, and he'd registered it under his own name. What a doofus. |

When I was at North Shropshire College (although I think its now Walford and North Shropshire or something), the official domain was n-shropshire.ac.uk, and a guy I knew registered n-shropshire.co.uk and put a few little jokes about some teachers on it. Oppsie, he was called in to see the principal, got a very stern talking to, and the domain name was thereafter blank until it expired and was then swiftly re-registered by the college. Haha! |

It's probably the largest college in Shrewsbury and the surrounding area attendance-wise  I was there from September 2000 to July 2002. And we're (as in, the company I work for, run by Curiosity's step-sister (?)) trying to persuade Shrewsbury College to let us re-do their website, because it's terrible and is running off a content management system that they bought for £10,000 from EDS without actually getting a demonstration of what it was capable of. |

I think what I find amazing is how quickly a word can be created by the internet, search google today and you get something like 1 trillion results for youtube. |
