GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Carry a piece of early online-research history wherever the route leads. This Infonautics luggage tag honors the Wayne, Pennsylvania information-services company founded in 1992, known for bringing digital reference tools to everyday users. Its story runs from the Homework Helper concept and multimedia database experiments to public-market years and a later corporate transformation. A smart travel accessory for collectors of internet-era business history and curious technology archives.
Infonautics, Inc. was an information services company founded in 1992 by Marvin Weinberger, Lawrence Husick, and Josh Kopelman. Based in Wayne, Pennsylvania, it began as a spin-out from Telebase, Inc., which retained a minority position. The concept behind its early work dated to 1990, when Weinberger and Husick developed Homework Helper, a monthly research service intended to pair a large multimedia database with a natural-language interface. Early development involved work with Brewster Kahle, a protocol for a massively parallel computer system, semantic search technology demonstrated in 1991, and hardware support from Tandem Computers. The company’s multimedia database work produced multiple U.S. patents. Infonautics reached the Nasdaq market in 1996 and was delisted in 2001. That year, it acquired Tucows through a reverse takeover and changed its name to Tucows. Its online services included Homework Helper on Prodigy, Encyclopedia.com, Electric Library, and CompanySleuth. In 2002, the renamed company sold eLibrary and Encyclopedia.com to HighBeam Research.
