I recently was looking for a Screencast program (free of course) for Mac OS X. A Screencast program allows an user to capture their screen on their computer as a video - in other words - create demos to share. Anyway I did a Google search for "free screencast for mac" search (click on it to view the search). The first result seemed like the perfect result. This website. And I recieved a webpage with this error picture:
So I was quite unhappy that I couldn't see the text I needed. BUT, there is a way you can. By going back to the Google search page, you can click on the link labeled "Cached" underneath the result. This should show you a webpage you originally intended on seeing.
What is happening here is, every so often search engines send out "spiders" to "crawl" across wedpages. So that when you type in your keywords it matches those keywords upto the text that the "spiders crawled" across previously. So basically the cached website is a previous version of the current webpage - it's not up to date, but it's...there.
