Garrett Rogers has dug out a list of domains registered by Google yesterday and speculates on their intentions. Here’s the list :

archivesearchgoogle.com/net
archivesssearchgoogle.com/net
google-archive-search.com/net
google-archive.com/net
google-archives-search.com/net
google-archives.com/net
google-archivesearch.com/net
google-archivessearch.com/net

First thought are :”Is Google going to provide a ‘cool’ service that lets you see the history of the web, or will it be a service that lets you search through historic publications?”

We shall see. We know Google keeps one cached copy of a page, “but is it possible that every time the cache is updated, the old version is filed away somewhere safe?”
