I remember I used to use this religiously before google. I can now just about remember it's name. How is it still going. Was it not the top search engine at one point?

I used one called Webcrawler back in '94/5 - was terrible though, AltaVista was a Godsend back then.

Don't use it any more though of course - except for babelfish.
 
Or that odd one, with a black dog, what was it called again? Lickos? Lycras? ;)
 
And dare I remind you of rarities like Infoseek and Hotbot? Talking about dot com fumes...
 
Who remembers being snobbish about Google and telling people it was trashy, and would never catch on.
 
I think AltaVista was my primary search engine before Google. I still use it for Babelfish, but that's about it.
 
This thread just reminded me of a slightly more risqué search engine that had a name similar to that of Altavista.

I was shocked to see that not only is it still up, but it still updated :eek:

EDIT: Lol, the guy below mentioned it!
