Yahoo in 1996!

Hey all,


Today I saw this : http://web.archive.org/web/19961017235908/http://www2.yahoo.com/.

It's how Yahoo! main web page looked at the very beggining in 1996. Just thought it would be interesting to know for yahoo geeks

Regards,

Yup i've known of the archive site for awhile now

 

Yuck! good thing I became an Internet user during the year 1998.

 

I like how simple it was for the time. It's a lot like our lo-fi version's we have today on some forums.

 

Well the internet was created I believe in 1992, that was advanced for a 1996 website...trust me. Back then it was more like WOW not yuck.

 

Funny, looks more like a really busy version of Google than anything else.

 

Google was based on yahoos design.

 

I looked at them at different years, you can see them become more commercialized every year.

 

heh, I remember that.
Back in the days when Yahoo and altavista were the king searches. Oh, and
their was this one search that used all the other search sites as searches can't remember the name. It used frames and you would put your search into the top frame and would click on "yahoo, altavista" etc and it would load the query in the bottom frame... good stuff

 

Google:

The first set is particularly interesting. "Nov 11, 1998".

On that page their is nothing but two links.

They read:

Google Search Engine Prototype
and
Might-work-some-of-the-time-prototype that is much more up to date.

 

Hey,
Look what I found:

LOL, http://web.archive.org/web/19981202230410/www.google.com/

 

Unlike yahoo i don't see much difference in then and now google's homepage. It pretty much have the same feeling, its still using 90s kind of logo.

 

OMG I didn't have a computer in 98'
Is this image for real?

p.l.u.r.

 

Yes. I got computer in 99, but then I didn't need to search anything Anyway, I am sure it looked like that

 

*SIGH* The memories. 1996 the good ole days. When there was rarely any little kids, no spam, and no flaming.

 

i just opened my email a/c on 2002,till that date i didn't know what is yahoo and what is hotmail.

 

wasn't on the BBS's

Fortunatly IRC is still around - it's my fortress of solitude.

 

Yahoo was better then, bring back the old days.
