Happy Birthday Yahoo!

And thanks for making me feel old. I remember when Yahoo was knee-high to a grass-hopper….

Yahoo! turns 10 – Mar. 1, 2005:

“In its young life the Internet has banished more than a few once popular search engines to virtual obscurity, Altavista, Excite, Lycos, Go.com, Snap, the list goes on.

But Yahoo!, which is on the verge of celebrating its 10th birthday, is arguably as strong, if not stronger, than it was during the dot-com bubble days. That’s truly remarkable.

To commemorate the event, Yahoo! (Research) co-founder Jerry Yang took a look back at the company’s first ten years during a keynote address at the Search Engine Strategies conference in New York Tuesday morning. There was even a birthday cake.”
