The site, in 1994
A web portal of links, search, news and mail, founded in 1993 as Architext by six Stanford friends.
In 1997 it was the world's sixth most visited website. It merged with @Home in 1999, went bankrupt in 2001 after the dot-com crash, and closed in August 2026 along with Ask.com.
In 1994: Still called Architext. In July, International Data Group paid its founders $80,000 to develop an online service.
Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
