Tell PG: You missed NorthernLight in 'Sanpshot: Viaweb..' article

I think you missed the good ol' NorthernLight in the list of search engines in there. Can't recollect any others.
Spot on: the term SEO was not coined, or at the least, not in any noticeable use back then in '98. :)

- sagacity 15y agoOh, you better be sure - it (NorthernLight) did use to matter alright. Used to be mentioned in almost every print article related to the Internet/search. :)

- sagacity 15y agoHere goes nothing :) : The Northern Light - 1995/1996 Northern Light was to the search engine world what Apple was to the computer world. Shortly after its launch, Northern light like Apple, developed a fanatical following, but held a relatively small market share compared to the likes of Lycos and AltaVista.
