Wayback Machine Way Better in Beta
« on: January 24, 2011, 06:40:24 AM »
I don't know about you guys, but I've blocked the Wayback Machine from all my sites as standard practice. It is handy to check out everyone else's sites though. This new upgrade does appear to make it easier to use.

Wayback Machine Way Better in Beta

That invaluable Internet spelunker's friend, the Wayback Machine, which allows users access to websites that have long since passed their sell-by date, has undergone a gamma-ray powered transmogrification. Well, they redesigned it and it's now in open beta.

The new version is two-fold; first, it's a wholesale migration of the site from a proprietary software to an open source platform, which should make the whole thing faster; second, there are interface changes that make it easier to be more precise in your digital time traveling.

The new version is visually updated and less cluttered. (Bonus: teal highlights on the search page!) Below the URL search box are a button for the latest version of the site you're seeking and another to see all results.
