It was the start of this website in the mid-’90s and the internet was booming in the early 2000. There is this website called waybackmachine which has all the screenshot achieves on all the web pages. Let’s go back in time and brush up our memory down the lane on how this website looked when they were launched.

Everyone knows the story of Facebook and how Mark Zuckerberg single handedly developed the website in just 45 days. Now Facebook’s website has many different features and a very huge team, but during the initial time Facebook had a simple and basic look and Facebook was called TheFacebook.

Apple is currently the most valuable company in the world with amazing products like iPhone, iPad, Macbook, iWatch, and many more were once a very struggling company in the ’90s.

We could not find the screenshot of the Amazon website of 1997 but we managed to get the screenshot from 1999. The amazon website looks a bit modern as compared to the year 1999 but it was a 2-year-old company then so yes it had made many changes to the website.

 

6) This is how the Yahoo website looked when it was launched
