The site, in 1996
The first Czech web directory and search engine; its name means 'list', and its catalogue sorted Czech websites into categories.
Ivo Lukačovič started it with 50,000 crowns of his savings, and it was among the first Czech sites to sell banner adverts. It became one of the few search engines outside the US and China to hold its own against Google at home.
In 1996: Launched in Prague as a catalogue with categories of up to 1,000 websites each, plus a keyword search.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
