Ever surf The Wayback Machine (http://web.archive.org) to see what your favorite websites looked like back in their early days?
Here’s an early version of YouTube…
Even better… an early shot of Google. Ah, memories.
AOL Video debuts with what “Video on the Web” calls a “Hail Mary Play.” AOL is in DEEP trouble. It’s hemmoraging customers at the rate of 2,000,000 a year. If they keep that up, pretty soon there won’t be an AOL. So what are they gonna do? They’re tapping their video content… Remember it’s AOL-Time…
Ann Curry joined in a “spontaneous” musical about lunch at Trump Tower, and the ImprovEverywhere team worked with NBC to capture the fantastic moment in “I Love Lunch! The Musical.” Watch the Today Show coverage of the event and see some fantastic photos by visiting ImprovEverywhere.com. The bit borrows heavily from my favorite ImprovEverywhere clip…
I’ve written quite a bit about online-video contests as a win-win for producers and brands.

The Wayback Machine is fun.
@3: I liked the green best, the pink least.
I didn’t know google existed until… I think 2003. Youtube I didn’t use until early 2006. I didn’t upload until early 2008.
yeah, of course I fail.
@1
I remember one of the early WVFF banners was a picture of Nalts holding a bum’s “Will video For Food” cardboard sign on the left with a picture of a boxy video camera on the right. It was kind of dark and colorless. I like the moving cheese one better.
I got nothing to say, but hi and [click] my blog unless you hate America

WTF!!! My google reader has been broken!!!
