The site, in 1996
A Brazilian web portal with news, hosting, online payments and shopping, owned by Grupo Folha. Its name means Universe Online.
It calls itself the largest Portuguese-language portal, with more than 1,000 news sources. IBOPE Nielsen Online put it at over 50 million unique visitors a month, and in 2012 it was the fifth most visited site in Brazil.
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.
