Found some good ones:
“Erik von Markovik” (aka Mystery) was a travelling magician.
“Carlton Sheets” results are positive in 2001 and scam in 2008
facebook is hosted on harvard.edu and barely makes the front page
Rick Ross is a cult expert in 2001 and rapper in 2008
“bang bus” has 70k results in 2001 and 3M in 2008
also…
“al qaeda” and “osama bin laden” bring up PBS articles
DJ Khaled was working the Miami club scene
Warrior Forum brings up d&d geeks
Rick Roll takes you to Rick’s Rock & Roll Cafe

By the way, this tool is totally useful. I noted quite a few sites that had staying power over the years and some SERPS where the nature of the first page is totally different.
commercial real estate - loopnet is top of both pages
weight loss - 2M pages in 2001 and the front page is basically a bunch of random blogs

Nice, sort of like the Way Back Machine for SERPs.

Health Coaches. Completely different. Not a HUGE difference in amounts, which surprised me. About twice as many searches. Type of coaching has changed into learning how to be a health coach. The term or meaning of health coach was different in 2001. Very interesting.

Howie, that’s a great app you created to view the search results side-by side. I went ahead and told my Skype Room members all about it.
