Anyone have much experience with this? I tried using it but I'm a total noob so I'm not sure if I'm just using it wrong or it's not able to find the info I want. Can this be used to search for facebook pages that changed in the last few months? The page was public at the time so that's not an issue.
its not really that great, it only shows a snapshot not the entire thing you might get one or 2 pages but thats it

I don't need much, just the front page would help a lot.
It isn't as good as it used to be. It takes them over a year to add most of their updates. So if you check back in a year or two you might find what you are looking for.
Try this. Archives of Dead Web Pages: Wayback, Cache, and More (http://www.searchengineshowdown.com/others/archive.shtml)

Thanks for the link but I'm still having no luck, oh well. I should've taken a pic when I had the chance.

As a side note, it does have retro cartoons from the twenties to the forties

archive.org FTW !
Loads of amazing stuff there, even videogame things. It's literally on my top 5 coolest things on the internet. If you can get past the horrid searching system/layout you'll find some grade a things.
I've been a long time supporter, made the front page as curators choice a few times, and really think what they are doing is great.
RU should really host some stuff there. A podcast, magazine, or anything else.
