GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Give your phone a place to rest while celebrating a landmark in online search. This AltaVista Foldable Mobile Phone Display Stand recalls the Palo Alto service launched in 1995, when its Scooter crawler and TurboVista database helped users navigate an expanding World Wide Web. AltaVista grew rapidly, served Yahoo search results exclusively for a time, and eventually became part of a long chain of internet-business changes before its domain redirected to Yahoo Search in 2013. A practical pick for web-history fans and technology collectors.
AltaVista was a pioneering web search engine created by researchers at Digital Equipment Corporation to showcase company hardware and make files on its public network easier to find. Based in Palo Alto, California, it publicly launched on December 15, 1995, with a fast web crawler called Scooter and an efficient search database called TurboVista. It offered a full-text, Boolean-searchable index of the World Wide Web, and traffic grew from 300,000 hits on launch day to more than 80 million per day by 1997. Yahoo used AltaVista search results exclusively from 1996 until the arrangement ended in 1998. After Compaq acquired Digital Equipment Corporation in January 1998, AltaVista became part of Compaq. In 1999, Compaq spun off the service, redesigned it as a web portal, and sold 83 percent to CMGI. AltaVista later returned to a search-focused design. Overture Services acquired it in February 2003, and Yahoo acquired Overture in July that year. In June 2013, the AltaVista domain redirected to Yahoo Search.
