Message from Altavista to email users in 2002[edit]

I used to use their email all the time, then in 2002 I got a frankly hubristic message informing me that 'Altavista are closing down the email service so we can focus on what we do best: search". I was pretty cheesed off, and also thought they were probably making a big mistake. In the comment about someone says that DEC never realised the potential size of the search engine market: but they never realised the value of the 'free' (subject to data harvesting) email element either.

Within months of shutting down their email bit they were taken over, and then joined the long list of dead internet tech companies.

Babelfish by the way was pretty good for its time, as I remember. 86.152.99.30 (talk) 22:08, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Punctuation[edit]

Normally, only one punctuation mark is appropriate at the end of a sentence. How-ever, what happens when a name incorporates a terminal punctuation mark? Here we have "Yahoo!." Is that correct? Kdammers (talk) 17:04, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
