The site, in 2000

A travel site of reviews, forum posts and prices for hotels, restaurants and attractions, largely written by travellers.

Co-founder Stephen Kaufer got the idea after a frustrating hunt to plan a family holiday. Its pages hold roughly 1 billion reviews of around 8 million places, in 40 countries.

In 2000: Founded in February by Kaufer, Langley Steinert, Nick Shanny and Thomas Palka, which raised $2 million in September before the site had launched.

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.
