What happened to Google’s main rival, who was a leader on the Internet in the 1990s

Exactly 25 years ago, on January 18, 1995, the domain of the search giant yahoo.com appeared, which was destined

turn into the most popular site of the 90s.

The Internet portal itself had already existed for about a year.

Yahoo! developed rapidly. For the first time, it was called the “Guide of David and Jerry on the World Wide Web” (by the names of the creators - Jerry Yang and David Filo) and was a structured directory of websites of the then still cramped Internet. The "Guide" was only a hobby of two students at Stanford University, but very soon the site became a matter of life for them, and for thousands and millions of Internet users it became a starting page. In the first five months, Yahoo! 100 thousand people visited - for 94, this growth in popularity was truly explosive.
