- dhaya 13y agoNice! Look also at the "web launch" order form: http://docs.yahoo.com/docs/pr/orderform.html http://docs.yahoo.com/docs/pr/orderform.html
- adlpz 13y agoAmazing, it's great how something so new (online advertising on a search engine) can be already so old. I mean, looks like you had to mail that thing with a $1000 check. Crazy!
- thoughtcriminal 13y agoI'll be impressed when they post some phone numbers.
- GFischer 13y agoTo be fair, they do post quite a lot of phone numbers, I don't know where they dug that page from: http://pressroom.yahoo.net/pr/ycorp/company-address.aspx http://pressroom.yahoo.net/pr/ycorp/company-address.aspx Yahoo! Inc. 701 First Avenue Sunnyvale, CA 94089 Tel: (408) 349-3300 Fax: (408) 349-3301

- leothekim 13y agoThe maps link around "3400 Central Expressway" is broken. BETTER REPORT IT.
- marban 13y agoWhy exactly are these reminiscent pieces other than verifying that the past really existed getting upvotes lately?
- ancarda 13y agoProbably because it's interesting? I never saw the web in its infancy like this. I've spent hours browsing archive.org before to see what the early days of the internet was like back then.
- joshuamerrill 13y agoNote the Yahoo logo image map. :)
- laumars 13y agoI'm so glad the days of image maps are gone!
- hyperberry 13y agoYeah, I thought the image map was hilarious. The second link in the menu, "Cool" goes through at least 4 redirects before winding up back on the www.yahoo.com home page :)
- alanbyrne 13y agoWow, that comment made me feel old.
- JeremyMorgan 13y agoAs someone who first got on the internet in 1995 at the age of 17, I know that feel.
- lanstein 13y agome neither - I used lynx ;)
- United857 13y agoHow often do you see any web startup these days post a phone number, let alone a physical address?
- hna0002 13y agoInteresting! by 2003, Yahoo had acquired 22 companies: http://docs.yahoo.com/docs/info/faq.html http://docs.yahoo.com/docs/info/faq.html
- edw519 13y agoI prefer this trip down memory lane: http://techcrunch.com/2008/08/25/yahoos-404-at-giants-stadium/ http://techcrunch.com/2008/08/25/yahoos-404-at-giants-stadiu...

- scjody 13y agoI'm pretty impressed that the links on the top bar still take you (via redirects, sure) to relevant places.
- deleted 13y ago[deleted]
- calebegg 13y agoI love the redirect sequence on the "Cool" button: $ curl -I -L http://www.yahoo.com/Entertainment/Cool_Links/ | grep Location Location: http://dir.yahoo.com/Entertainment/cool_links/ Location: http://dir.yahoo.com/entertainment/cool_links/ Location: http://picks.yahoo.com/ Location: http://buzz.yahoo.com/ Location: http://www.yahoo.com
- eterm 13y agoA shame it doesn't end in https redirection.
- robbyking 13y agoI'm impressed they used tableless HTML!
- haroldp 13y agoEven in 1998, you couldn't contact their postmaster.
- kalleboo 13y agoTook me a while to notice that this wasn't on archive.org. Are these still up as an oversight? If so, that's pretty impressive that their server infrastructure hasn't changed radically in so many years.
- larrys 13y agoThis page as well: http://docs.yahoo.com/docs/info/faq.html http://docs.yahoo.com/docs/info/faq.html
- peterwwillis 13y ago"What does Yahoo! stand for? [..] Yahoo! is an acronym for Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle."
- coopaq 13y agoneeds body style { background: #ccc }
- lmm 13y agoThe quality of the image notwithstanding (and there were good reasons for that with the bandwidth of the time), this page looks remarkably good, and holds up far better than sites half its age. Just goes to show yet again that with design less really is more.
- Aldipower 13y agoThat is a really clean and clear page to me. There is only relevant information with a small amount of irritation on it. And it works for mobile too! :)
- ry0ohki 13y agoI remember actually calling Yahoo about something (I think web hosting?) I remember I thought that was a huge problem with Google (and still do) that there is no way to call them.
- cf8ea35075395f2 13y agoYeah, things here have been running for an inordinately long time. One of the servers hosting that page: -bash-3.2$ uptime 8:53PM up 3982 days ..... apache's been running for 8+ years. Stable as all heck.
