GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
For long commutes, research sessions, and deep dives into web history, this Infonautics travel mug celebrates a company built around finding information. The 1992 Wayne, Pennsylvania company traced its origins to the Homework Helper concept and developed online research, reference, and search offerings during the formative internet years. A fitting collectible for fans of digital knowledge platforms, early public web businesses, and Philadelphia-area technology stories.
Infonautics, Inc. was an information services company founded in 1992 by Marvin Weinberger, Lawrence Husick, and Josh Kopelman. Headquartered in Wayne, Pennsylvania, it was spun out from Telebase, Inc., which retained a minority position. Its origins reached back to a 1990 concept by Weinberger and Husick for Homework Helper, an unlimited monthly research service built around a large multimedia database and a natural-language interface. Early development involved work with Brewster Kahle, a protocol for a massively parallel computer system, a later shift toward semantic search technology, and hardware support from Tandem Computers. That multimedia database work produced multiple U.S. patents. Infonautics developed Homework Helper on Prodigy as well as Encyclopedia.com, Electric Library, and CompanySleuth. The company joined the Nasdaq stock exchange in 1996 and was delisted in 2001. That year, it acquired Tucows in a reverse takeover and subsequently adopted the Tucows name. In 2002, eLibrary and Encyclopedia.com were sold to HighBeam Research.
