GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Open a conversation about the first generation of online research with the Infonautics Metal Bottle Opener. Founded in 1992, the Wayne, Pennsylvania company emerged from a Telebase connection and pursued multimedia databases, semantic search, and accessible digital reference tools. Its journey through public markets, corporate change, and a renamed successor reflects the rapid evolution of the internet business world. This design gives collectors and technology-history fans a compact tribute to a memorable information-services name.
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.
