The site, in 2002
A news aggregator from Yahoo that gathers stories from outside publishers such as the Associated Press, Reuters and the BBC.
Created by Yahoo engineer Brad Clawsie in 1996, it only began producing its own journalism in 2011. It joined the White House press corps in 2012 and hired Katie Couric as global anchor in 2013.
In 2002: Two years after it added pages tracking the most viewed and most emailed stories, which were noted as an advance in online news.
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.
