Re: No more "BroadbandReports"?I think yahoo and jeeves ate them, and then jeeves passed (in the digestive sense) Ask.com trying to re-find a page I saw yesterday (but did not correctly save) that showed all the search engines - birth, lineage and demise/heritage |

it is similar, the more text-y one I saw had dozens if not hundreds of different startups some which only lasted/were absorbed after only a few months. |

>>tshirt: I think yahoo and jeeves ate them
I do think it was Yahoo that ate Altavista which is why I ended up with a Yahoo email account and also why I created a mail.com account and shortly thereafter paid for the mail.com account to get rid of the ads. At the time, I only had my compuserve.com account which was sort of walled in, in that you needed to be signed into compuseve via their (non-web-based) software interface to use their email so AltaVista/Yahoo and then mail.com allowed me to have a more "global" email account accessible pretty much anywhere--read...at work...
