Suanie posted an entry about some sweet memories in the 90s. It reminded me that I was still a teenager that time who only used PC for games and entertainment.
For some of you who were web surfers back in 1990s, might still remember how the old Yahoo! and Google looked like. Just to bring back the old memory of these 2 search engine giant, here I present you Yahoo! in 1996 and Google in 1998. For those who have not seen the old version of Yahoo! and Google, enjoy too. :)
Well, back in 1996, Yahoo! was still a web directory itself comprised of around 370,000 sites. That time, Yahoo! was more or less a place served as Yellow pages and to search for latest news. For your information, this is the 2-year-old Yahoo! as Yahoo! was created in April 1994.
Whereas the design of the few-months-old Google in 1998 looked as simple as today’s Google. The popular I’m Feeling Lucky button still remains in the search page until today. When Google just started serving us, they had only less than 25 million pages indexed. If you are curious about the hardware Google used, have a look of the entry I written about the server setup of Google when they first launched in 1998.
The link to the image of the old Google logo is broken, but i made my effort to dig it out from the old archive of Google search. Notice Google used the exclamation mark (!) too? LoL …
Old Google Logo with !
From those old pictures, it’s quite hard to believe how Google overtook Yahoo! to become the most famous and effective search engine today considering it was launched 2 years later than Yahoo!. Anyway, kudos to Google. Hopefully Yahoo! strive their best to fight back to claim the best search engine in years to come.
