Javanian: Google

Google didn’t even have a website in 1997, so I’m cheating a bit here by showing you the page from 1998. The iconic, minimalistic design is present here. Here’s a little-known fact: the only reason Google started with such a simple design is because they didn’t have a webmaster or anyone that knew HTML.

rem this so well
Re: How 10 Big Websites Looked 15 Years Ago by Nobody: 8:04am On Feb 08, 2013
Javanian: Yahoo

1997 was the pre-Google era, so people used other search engines – like Yahoo. Yahoo was a pretty basic search engine and directory back then, nothing like the jam-packed front page it would become. But then, Yahoo just couldn’t be cluttered back then. It would have taken too long to download over those old dial-up modems.

chei see my yahoo

alexy147: Moral of the lesson: beautiful ones are not yet born..by next 10yrs from today,a lot of changes will be observed too..

Another lesson. Things that are beautiful today started out plain, unsophisticated, unreliable and unattractive. But by patronage and diligence on the part of those entrepreneurs they have become great. Same with KIA, LG, Toyota, etc.

The question now is. How do we view our own products, people and processes. No global brand ever succeeded without leading local patronage. Hollywood will always sit more b.ums in US cinemas than anywhere else.

saxywale: only God knew what happened to Alta vista.

My first search engine. Took a while for me to switch to the emerging google. The catch phrase 'don't be evil' gave me the creeps with rumours then they were some clandestine US operation to tag every person on earth.

Javanian: One day, someone will write about how ancient the Web looked back in 2013 and marvel at how backwards we were grin.

Were you online in 1997? Do you have any other interesting old websites to share? Leave a comment and let us know.

I lost my pc first laptop in 1997 when internet first came to Nigeria. Then we were using compuserve with landline hunting line. Wow, can you imagine then and now? Altavista was my best site, then yahoo was a search engine, no google, no bing. Thanks for bringing d memory back.

AltaVista was my preferred search engine then. Even though yahoo hosted my first email address, the one i later created on hotmail became really 'hot' and busy.

aieromon: Wow. Look at the fonts.

Whatever happened to onebox and lycos?

Wow...good memory. Onebox especially. I guess hotmail and yahoo knocked them out.
