1. Google
Officially launched on September 4th 1998, Google have stuck to their colour scheme and their logo hasn’t changed much. The interface has been improved since with HTML. The capability of the biggest search engine has definitely changed though!
2. YouTube
YouTube, launched in Feb 2005 is nearly unrecognisable, apart from the logo of course. The first video to be uploaded to the website was “Me at The Zoo”. This 19 second clip was of a YouTube founder, Jawed Karim..
3. Facebook
The Facebook was created in Feb 2004 by the now famous, Mark Zuckerberg. The site was only avaiable to students from Harvard University but 10 years later they have over 800 million users across the globe. Notice the image of the face in the top left corner of the Facebook Banner… that’s Al Pacino.
4. Yahoo!
A couple of Stanford student, Jery Yang and David Filo launched Yahoo (acronym; “Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle”) in March 1995. It was originally a way to search the web but these days it’s evolved into a personalised news site.
5. Twitter
Twitter has had more than a few tweaks since it first came out in July 2006. First of all it was called “Twttr”, second of all it had a different colour scheme. The design has been changed 6 times in just 5 years. These days it has 100 million users.
6. MySpace
A plain design for MySpace back in Aug 2003, but after MySpace became seriously popular between 2005 and 2008 it was sold for $580 millionit got a whole new look. More recently Justine Timberlake bought it for $35 million.
7. Amazon
Online shopping goes all the way back to 1995 when Amazon was launched as an online book store.
