I know this has been brought up a few times over the years, but something spurred me to go check out what VideoSift originally looked like and I got a chuckle when I was reminded how far our user interface has come. For your viewing pleasure, I give you ancient VideoSift of March 2006:

• Front Page - http://web.archive.org/web/20060315170025/http://www.videosift.com/
• The then newly launched Blog (now known as Sift Talk) where James Roe wonders if "the ukulele video" will ever be surpassed in the #1 position - http://web.archive.org/web/20060315170651/www.videosift.com/blog/

It's not a complete picture because all the graphics are missing, but it's worth a look in any case... Ahh, the old, old days of brown and green.

[edit]
Hmm. I'm not sure what happened in the past day but when I posted this, those links were showing the proper page layout (with colors and positioning etc.) but now it's just plain text. Is everyone seeing no styles at all like I am?
