The site, in 2002
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 2002: Bought the search firm Inktomi for $280 million, and reportedly offered $3 billion for Google, which said no.
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.
Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
