Was it DEC than ran Alta Vista? They were involved in some search engine
- coobird 3y agoIndeed.[1] I recall using it as my main search engine at altavista.digital.com before they moved to get its own domain at altavista.com. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltaVista https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltaVista
- macintux 3y agoI remember when AltaVista was the best, and despairing because it was so terrible. At a dinner party, we were arguing about how to move forward with discovery on the web, because the situation was so dire. Someone was arguing for keyword registration, a la AOL. I really, really hope that someone wasn’t me; I’ve convinced myself over the years it wasn’t, but I didn’t have any better ideas, just knew that wouldn’t work.
