I remember when some college students decided to catalog the internet. They called it Yahoo.

Anybody remember using Archie and Gopher?

Yeah. During the brief time when I used AOL, they had a gopher client but no web browser.

no, but www.excite.com is still my main page

Dude... You should switch to myway.com, it has the exact same content as Excite (they're owned by the same company) but with less ads.

I wish that iGoogle would finally get some decent TV listings, so I could finally stop using that site!

What ads?

igoogle is pretty bloated compares to excite.

I used to use it more than Yahoo back before Google came around.

 

[zerocool84]

If I remember correctly, didn't one of those search engines give away money like weekly or something? I forgot which one though.

 

[TallBill]

Altavista, now I can't imagine not using the Googles.

 

[irishScott]

Lol I remember when we were made to use yahooligans back in early elementary school.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Pretty sure my Homestead page is long gone. Is there a way to Search for old pages without knowing your Login?
