Is there such a thing as Tivo for the internet?

I took 10 screenshots of news websites moments after the failed bailout to see how they reacted. I wanted to go back get more from other sites but as time went on, they updated and the point was lost. So, is there anything to rewind the internet like I can do on my Tivo or DVR?

You could try the Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org), but I don't think they take snapshots of websites as frequently as you're looking for.

For specific articles, the Google cache is a good place to turn to, to see historical information that might have been removed/changed. Not quite what you're looking for, though.

There are screenshot capturing services out there, too, but again, more intended for one-time use only as opposed to frequently capturing state.
