Yahoo! began as a student hobby and evolved into a global brand that has changed the way people communicate with each other, find and access information and purchase things. The two founders of Yahoo!, David Filo and Jerry Yang, Ph.D. candidates in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, started their guide in a campus trailer in February 1994 as a way to keep track of their personal interests on the Internet. Before long they were spending more time on their home-brewed lists of favorite links than on their doctoral dissertations. Eventually, Jerry and David's lists became too long and unwieldy, and they broke them out into categories. When the categories became too full, they developed subcategories ... and the core concept behind Yahoo! was born.

AltaVista, which means "a view from above", was inspired by the creation of big ideas and a fascination with keeping track of information. During the spring of 1995, scientists at Digital Equipment Corporation's Research lab in Palo Alto, CA, devised a way to store every word of every page on the entire Internet in a fast, searchable index. This lead to the development of the first searchable, full-text database on the World Wide Web.

Northern Light began in September 1995 in Cambridge, Massachusetts to address the shortcomings of conventional search engines, including the lack of organization and quality information. David Seuss, CEO of Northern Light, summarizes Northern Light this way: "The Web is the ultimate expression of the problem of too much data and not enough information. Northern Light is making a wholly original contribution to solving this problem by improving the ability of Web searchers to focus on what is relevant and of high quality."
