Websites We Visit: How They Look Like 10 Years Ago

Most of us probably got our Internet connection somewhere 10 years back. It was also around that time we seen the sudden boom on Internet, thanks to Marc Andreessen and Netscape Communicator. Now that we are almost at the end of 2008, we thought it’s pretty interesting to look back at how some of the trend setters and the most trafficked websites were like 10 years back.
Here are some of the top-tier brands of the tech industries and their websites have stayed on the Internet for more than a decade. Let’s take a look at how these websites look like 10 years ago, comparing with that it is now. Full list after jump.

Amazon

Clear-cut navigation is very important for any e-commerce site and we believe Amazon handles this pretty well. The site has not been changing over the pass decade in terms of the amount of content they put forward on the first page. The most obvious change over the pass ten years in Amazon is perhaps swapping the horizontal tab navigation to a left sidebar drop down and bringing their search box to the top.

Animal Camouflage

We have seen impressive camouflage works of some of the finest artists, but what we have here today is something unique. These animals have mastered the art of camouflage or rather it's a gift to them from Mother Nature to protect themselves and to survive. These animals are very impressive in their own way and yet we (humans) with all the technology and knowledge at our disposal haven't been able to surpass them in camouflage. You don't agree with us? Then have a look at this collection and decide for self.
