Web cache bookmarklets. (Page down? Click this for archive!)

What follows is an amazingly trivial piece of code that takes your current URL of the page visited and passes it to Google; so if a page is down, you can always see what was there the last time it was archived. It’s not tied to this site; it’s entirely self-contained JavaScript.

Here’s google, and this one is for The Internet Wayback Machine.

These little guys have found a permanent place in my “bookmarks bar” – I hope you find them useful as well!
