Sites that let you dig up the Past

by Mahesh Kukreja on February 20, 2011

Every online search engine has to face the inevitable question: Can it top Google? But I’m going to tell you a few sites which will help you unearth data from the past.

These online search utilities, instead of crawling through current web pages, sift through archived data.

1. Cached Search

The quickest way to dig up dated content on web is using the cached search results on search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.

To directly search a cached page on Google, just enter cache: www.examplesite.com/examplepage. You’ll be directly taken to cached page of the entered URL. For Bing and Yahoo search, you need to enter the URL as query and select Cached besides the page you want to view as cached.

Web SearchIf these don’t bring up the results you were looking for, try switching to specialized search engines like Exalead and ScrubTheWeb. They work just like regular search engines, but store cached content for much longer (up to seven months).

2. Web Archives

For older content, try Archive.org, they carry snapshots of websites, news print archives and old research papers from early 1996.

The main aim of this resource – according to its founder Brewester Kahle – is to “help people make sense of the world and give accountability to what’s been published before”.

To do this, the archive regularly releases a robot program called Heritrix, which collects data from about 4 billion sites in each crawl. These are then saved “Wayback Machine”.

Looking for music from the seventies, or classics perhaps? Well, the archive is a treasure of over 100,000 individual shows by thousands of bands – including Beatles and Pink Floyd – freely downloadable. The site also contains old-time radio shows and large number of songs recorded from 78 rpm records.

Internet Archive also has a section for space buffs who want to look at images from NASA’s early missions such as Apollo Program at nasaimages.org.

3. Book Search

Two resources – Open Library and Project Gutenberg – catalogue books and even provide access to electronic copies; all free of cost. The free material includes plays and poems of Rabindranath Tagore, The Golden Threshold by Sarojini Naidu, War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, the works of William Shakespeare, including classics such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, etc..

The e-books available on these sites have been released by the authors under Creative Commons License.

Open Library has around 20 million records and Project Gutenberg has over 33,000 free e-books that can be downloaded freely on PC or e-book readers like Kindle, or Apple iDevices.

China shuts down 91 Porn Sites

by Mahesh Kukreja on January 11, 2009

A total of 91 sites have been shut down or blocked since Thursday as part of a month-long campaign that the government says is aimed at stamping out online pornography, the Xinhua news agency said.

Distributing pornography is illegal in China and authorities urged law-breakers to turn themselves into police, warning that tougher measures would come in the following days, the report said.

The report gave few details on which sites were shut down.

China’s Ministry of Public Security and six other government agencies launched the drive against sites that post or link to content that “harms public morality” and corrupts the nation’s youth, Xinhua said.

They have included Google, MSN and Baidu, the most popular Chinese search engine.

Companies that ignore government warnings to remove obscene content or links to such material have been threatened with closure.

Google, Baidu and other Internet portals have since issued apologies and moved against online porn.

Google said Wednesday it had deleted all links to vulgar material from its search indexes and would go all-out to prevent such material re-appearing.

“Google is willing to be a law-abiding citizen in China,” it said in a statement.

China has launched Internet crackdowns on pornography, con artists and political activists in the past but officials have warned the latest campaign would include tougher measures, without giving specifics.

China has the world’s largest online population at more that 250 million, according to official figures, and it is growing rapidly as computer use rises along with income levels.

China’s communist rulers generally exercise strict control over the Internet, blocking sites linked to many politically sensitive subjects.
