  I know it's an oldie, but it's a goodie. And Twitter is a trip.

  There were two websites that really impressed me: apple.com and amazon.com. Amazon has hardly changed. Wow, it already looked great back then! And Apple ... um ... really has gone a long way in design since then. Phew, that Apple page was ugly!

    craigslist looked about the same as well (pretty easy to do) Amazon did surprise me though. Well done Amazon. Well Done.

  It's interesting to see that amazon's current site still looks similar to its launch version.

    It didn't actually start out like that. That's just a fairly recent screenshot. Here's a similar article with an older one: http://rosshill.com.au/big-websites-start-small/ http://rosshill.com.au/big-websites-start-small/ (second from the top).
