Do you guys ever use the Internet Archive for anything? I agree that they’re doing a great job archiving things, but realistically, through time most of things which happened have been forgotten.

I use the Wikipedia like once a week to look something up, but I only ever used the Internet Archive to look at a early version of my own website. But never for anything else. But perhaps I’m missing out on something?

    I’ve used it extensively to recover old CSS themes, images, and read long dead websites. There are a couple of lost songs I found downloads for there too! I’ve also saved a couple of pages that I haven’t had to use but it would be useful neutral third party evidence. Is it daily? No, but it’s an absolute blessing to have.
