The site, in 1998
A web directory started by Stanford students Jerry Yang and David Filo that grew into a portal with mail, news and search.
The name is a joke acronym for "Yet Another Hierarchically Organized Oracle", though the founders say they just liked the word. In 2008 Microsoft offered $44.6 billion for the company, and Yahoo turned it down.
In 1998: The most popular starting point on the web, with 95 million page views a day, three times rival Excite's.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
