The site, in 2002
Yahoo's search engine, which began as a way to search its hand-sorted directory of websites and now uses Bing's results.
Begun by Stanford students Jerry Yang and David Filo, it became the first popular search engine on the Web even though its listings were sorted by hand. Google supplied its results from 2000 to 2004.
In 2002: Google supplied the results. In December Yahoo announced it would buy Inktomi so it could run a search engine of its own.
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.
