Ten years ago, back before 9/11 and the Iraq war, the world was a different place. Teenagers would greet you with a cheery hello in the street, the economy was awesome, and The Jonas Brothers hadn’t even been invented yet. Sadly, websites weren’t so great. FHM’s homepage, for example, consisted of nothing more than a 20x20 pixel .gif of a golden retriever, that barked once an hour. And look at us now – we’ve got heaps of web games, a network of lovely ladies and all sorts of other shenanigans, for Gates’ sake.

As this link shows, they big guys weren’t looking so amazing, either. Head this way for a retrospective look at Google, YouTube, “The Facebook” and more. Mental.
