GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Keep the conversation focused on the early internet with an Infonautics can cooler. Infonautics emerged in 1992 from the Philadelphia-area technology scene, following work on the Homework Helper research concept and multimedia information systems. It went on to create memorable online reference and search properties before a reverse takeover brought a new corporate name. A relaxed, useful nod to web-history collectors and knowledge-platform fans.
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.
