The site, in 1996
A Chinese internet company and web portal in Beijing, whose businesses include the search engine Sogou and the online games firm ChangYou.
Its name means 'search fox'. In 1997 it took the name Sohoo as a nod to Yahoo, after its founder met Yahoo's Jerry Yang, then shortened it to Sohu. It listed on Nasdaq in 2000.
In 1996: Founded as Internet Technologies China by Charles Zhang, who had just finished a PhD at MIT.
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.
