It seems like every 6-12 months, a tech blog will punt with some screenshots from The Wayback Machine and a "look at the old web" article.
I'd be very interested in an article that used original screenshots from the time, and some real historical context and insight into the technologies powering the sites and the way people used them. Just going to Archive.org and taking some screenshots is, well, lazy.

- cleverjake 15y agoits still too new to do that, but the httparchive.org will allow us to do that about the current web in the futre.
