You click the link. You hold your breath. For a moment, you see it: the blue gradient header, the serif font, the exact pixel spacing of 2009. Then, the server redirects you back to the modern app.

It won't fix the algorithm. But it might just make you feel a little more connected. Do you remember your first Facebook profile picture? Mine was a low-res photo of a CD cover. Tell me yours in the comments (or just post it on your Wall—if you still have one).

So tonight, when you hit that redirect link, don't be sad. Just type a status update that says "[Your name] is feeling nostalgic."

Why do we keep trying to break back into a digital ghost town?
