In response to "yahoo! is a brand that started as an internet directory (which means it did not have a crawler/spider, it relied on submissions)." by Beryllium

thanks, but...

I'd bet I used Yahoo! longer ago than anyone here. quite soon after it got its name. (location + geekgeek.)

iirc, after they hooked-up with google for a few years, they went back to being their own search engine before the switch to bing (after completely screwing themselves up by not accepting msft's offer). I just completely brain blipped to not mention it.
