The History of Yahoo! - How It All Started...
Yahoo! began as a student hobby and evolved into a global brand that has changed the way people communicate with each other, find and access information and purchase things. The two founders of Yahoo!, David Filo and Jerry Yang, Ph.D. candidates in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, started their guide in a campus trailer in February 1994 as a way to keep track of their personal interests on the Internet. Before long they were spending more time on their home-brewed lists of favorite links than on their doctoral dissertations. Eventually, Jerry and David's lists became too long and unwieldy, and they broke them out into categories. When the categories became too full, they developed subcategories ... and the core concept behind Yahoo! was born.
Main article: History of Google
Google began as a research project in January, 1996 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two Ph.D. students at Stanford University, California.[7] They hypothesized that a search engine that analyzed the relationships between websites would produce better results than existing techniques (existing search engines at the time essentially ranked results according to how many times the search term appeared on a page).[8] It was originally nicknamed "BackRub" because the system checked backlinks to estimate a site's importance.[9] A small search engine called RankDex was already exploring a similar strategy.[
Lycos History and Search Engine Results
Eric LanderSenior SEO Project Manager
Lycos came online in 1994 as a search engine, and has since acquired HotBot, Raging Bull, Tripod, Wired, as well as others.. Lycos has changed from a search engine to more of a Yahoo! style directory. The Lycos.com portal includes a news, shopping, search, directory, personalized, and topics section, just as Yahoo! does. It attempts to offer it's users enough content and options to keep them at the site for extended periods of time. Enough about the portal, let's get to the search results.
History Excite
Excite was founded as Architext in 1994 by Graham Spencer, Joe Kraus, Mark Van Haren, Ryan McIntyre, Ben Lutch and Martin Reinfried. The founders were all students in computer science (except for Kraus, who was a political science major) at Stanford University. In July 1994 International Data Group paid $100,000 to the team to develop an online service.
History Altavista
AltaVista is one of the oldest search engines on the web, having been created back in 1995 by Digital Equipment Corporation. AltaVista was acquired by Compaq in 1998 and by its current owner, CMGI, in August of 1999.
A Very Brief History of Go
The origins of Go are shrouded in the mists of ancient Asian history, but the game is thought to have originated, at least 4,000 - 5,000 years ago.
HotBot
HotBot was one of the early Internet search engines and was launched in May 1996 as a service of Wired Magazine. It was launched using a "new links" strategy of marketing, claiming to update its search database more often than its competitors. Though competitive when it was acquired by Lycos in 1998, HotBot has in recent years reduced its scope. Today the website is merely a front end for third-party search engines Ask.com and MSN. It was one of the first search engines to offer the ability to search within search results.
