Via today's UK Telegraph. Prepare for those "were we ever that young?" flashbacks!

The craigslist and Google ones really take me back.

 Wondering, by the way, what Salon.com was fourteen long years ago? I'd forgotten that cute "next" button!

And yup, here's what we looked like, about a week after we launched.

Redesigning Web sites often just makes them more cluttered in my opinion. Earlier Web designs, while simplistic, had a very clean look. Now, it's overkill with tabs and popups and blogrolls and multiple icons and gazillions of links and countless apps and those ever-multiplying ads.
