The "Wayback Machine" allows you to view archived versions of websites by entering a URL and setting a range of dates. This also includes websites that have been taken down. It isn't perfect, and some old sites have only a few visible pages, but it can still be a useful tool.

The waybackmachine has always been incredibly useful for me. I have been able to view sites that were previously deleted.

I use this thing all the time! It's especially interesting to look at news sites on significant dates, such as Sept 11.

It will be infinitely more useful if they ever get around to instituting a text-based search engine. Can't Google corporation help them out?

The wayback is such an awesome tool. I wouldn't be able to do half of the crazy stuff I do without it.
WilloftheWisp might be interested in this little string for google, too. site:http://archive.org site:http://www.archive.org 'insert text to search for here'. It isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. Maybe adding googles cached results will help. I'll experiment a bit.

It's a pretty useful tool. I used it to get a screencap from a site that I was a member of that got shut down sadly...
