The site, in 2000
A French online marketplace where people and businesses bought and sold new and used books, electronics, clothing and household goods.
It began in 2000 as PriceMinister, was bought by Japan's Rakuten in 2010 and took the Rakuten name in 2018. The marketplace stopped trading on 30 September 2026.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
