Wow, I'd forgotten how cheerful Ebay used to look.

Almost makes one want to use it..

Twitter started in 2006, not 2003: http://www.crunchbase.com/company/twitter

The image for the old twitter page says 2007 at the bottom of the page.

Was youtube also a matchmaking service? I'm a little confused by that "I'm a Male seeking ..." form below the login box.
