Do you remember when Yahoo was a website about wrestling ?
Or when having a good section in DMOZ was important ?

- bryanlarsen 11y agoJerry Wang had a webpage about wrestling that was hosted on the same server as "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web", the original name for Yahoo!.
- kofejnik 11y agoi remember it being akebono.stanford.edu
- klenwell 11y agoI don't remember Yahoo being a wrestling site. But I was over 20 in '95 and I can remember the internet before Google. It was a bit of a mess. Fun and amazing and kooky. But tantalizingly frustrating if you were trying to do any focused research. I can also remember the moment when I discovered Google. It was reading this article back in 2000 (I could have sworn it was 1998): http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2000/05/29/search-and-deploy http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2000/05/29/search-and-depl... If you want to travel back in time to the internet as it was when Google appeared, give it a read. For any gripes I may have about Google's search engine (like the fact I can never seem to easily relocate this article when I want to refer to it), it definitely solved more problems than it created.
