AltaVista, a similiar history

[paul1981]

yeah!

I was using altavista way back in 97, then i discovered google in 98 i think
now everyone uses google

I used to use yahoo, I avoided things with stupid names such as google, but looking back now even yahoo is more stupid a name than google. I remember when Twitter came on the scene and 'tweets'.... still sounds gay to me now... no way I'll ever have a twitter account or 'tweet' anyone. Why can't things have normal names anymore? My home page is Google though, has been for years.

The first search engine I used was HotBot back in 96/97 then I changed to Google the day it went public in 99 I think.
