Great idea. However, from an implementation perspective, it's a little hard to tell what's going on with all the flashing images. Maybe show the first image by default, then wait for a mouseover or something to activate the animated gif.
Here's AirBnB's for example: http://bakztfuture.github.io/startuptimelines/airbnb/index.h...
This is why I have started to integrate a screenshot step at the end of my build processes.

I also thought it'd be a good idea to open source the background research I used here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ri8JZtBPNyofw91eL1Es...
I'm here now if you guys have any further questions!

Agreed - if the author was trying to highlight the kinds of things available on archive.org, it didn't quite work for me. Instead it just was a jumbled pile of images... Maybe slower images with a link back to archive.org and let people navigate the timeline directly would be more appropriate.
I really want people to get "hooked" right off the bat on the homepage, so, I will try to come up with a better solution later tomorrow. I was initially gonna do mouseovers like above, but didn't feel that would work on mobile.
This is great. Here is a list of 20 (now) huge sites from when they launched. Apple and Twitter are particularly amusing. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/6125914/How-20-popular...
This is awesome. I'd love to see more. Also a slider ability so we can progress/rewind the changes at our own pace. Really insightful visualization.
