I love the Way Back Machine! From a business perspective it’s a useful tool for making sure no naughty spammers have owned your domain name in the past. Thus causing it penalties in Google, etc.

But it also lets you reminisce. It has some snapshots of my old ecommerce business in New Zealand that brings back fond memories. You can see it when it just launched in November 2003 and then again just before we closed it down in December 2004.

Unfortunately my old business partner received an offer to start another business that actually had a salary and capital behind it. It would be interesting to see where it would be today. Thanks to what started off as his blog, he’s created quite a nice geek community of our target customers.

Despite the images missing, I’m still quite proud of it. Remember, this was running three years ago now! I think it’s design and sophistication could still beat a lot of sites out there today.

Anyway, that was a nice trip down memory lane for Friday. And here I am back in the business game. I love my life!
