Do you know how the world’s biggest websites looked like at launch?

Internet has grown a lot, since from its rise during 90’s. The top websites like Google, Facebook, Youtube, Amazon and Twitter were once started as Incubators. There were no WEB 2.0 technology, but those top sites had only few HTML pages to start with. With the help of Mashable.com and Wayback machine, we were able to find out how those top websites looked like in the past.

To our surprise, it’s hard to believe those top websites were once just a simple web page. Their growth thereafter is well known story to every internet user.
