How Can You View the Editions of Websites When They Were First Launched?

Yes, you can view all the wonderful company websites when they were launched for the first time. The Internet archive is held at Archives.org. Just go there, input your web address you want to go to, and select which year. See what I got:

Google in 1998 when it was first launched in Beta. Before this, it was hosted in Stanford University website.

Yahoo in 2005 when its features overshadowed Google
Yahoo in 2005, fairly low in terms of features.

Microsoft in 1996, before Google or Yahoo were popular
Microsoft in 1996

The images of Microsoft logo and other feature images are no longer available in Archives.

So, go ahead, find out if your site is available in Archives.org's 85 billion web page archives. Maybe, four years later, you can see how your site looked now through Archives.
