Its Been A Few Years

A History of Innovation

 

AltaVista, which means "a view from above," was inspired by the creation of big ideas from a team of experts with a fascination for keeping track of information. During the spring of 1995, scientists at Digital Equipment Corporation's Research lab in Palo Alto, CA, devised a way to store every word of every HTML page on the Internet in a fast, searchable index. This led to AltaVista's development of the first searchable, full-text database on the World Wide Web.

 

Other notable AltaVista inventions include the first-ever multi-lingual search capability on the Internet and the first search technology to support Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages. We are proud of Babel Fish, the Web's first Internet machine translation service that can translate words, phrases or entire Web sites to and from English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian and Russian.

The fear of gmail is mostly misconceptions. As it turns out, the things that most people fear in gmail happens with all webmail services, but gmail's just more honest about it.

 

There's an OCC thread on it found here.

[apostolics]

yeah imagine how much more control they will have in another 7 years. i can picture cars with goole search and googlevision should com out soon. it would be a way to have data sent to your eyes whil taking tests. all you need to do is picture the keywords in your mind and low and behold tentrillion pages will appear on the back of your eye....cool but scary all at the same time ...lucky children..

seriously i dont know what id do without google
