Altavista_in_1999

adios_altavista_sc_rip_2013

[EN]: Before Google became synonymous with web search, there were some sites people used to use to do their daily searching activities, like Yahoo!, Infoseek, Excite, Lycos and Altavista, but today, when Yahoo! announced it will discontinue many of its online services, a piece of the Internet will become history soon.

Yahoo!, under the command of its CEO Marissa Mayer, said it will shut down the Altavista site along with eleven other services.

Mayer is taking a page from her former employer Google when revealing a list of services that will no longer continue. Altavista was one of the premier sites to look for until Google arrived into the web scene. It started as property of Digital Equiptment Corp, in 1995 and was sold in 1999 to Compaq. Later, Compaq sold a majority stake to CMGI. After being bought by Overture in February 2003, Yahoo bought Overture and its properties (including AltaVista) in July 2003.

It is too bad seeing one of the first well-known sites say adiós. Hasta la vista, AltaVista.

[ES]: Antes de que Google se convirtiera en sinónimo de búsqueda en la web, hubo algunos sitios que la gente solía usar para hacer sus actividades de búsqueda diarias, como Yahoo, Infoseek, Excite, Lycos y Altavista, pero hoy, cuando Yahoo! anunció que descontinuará muchos de sus servicios en línea, una parte del Internet pasará a la historia pronto.

Yahoo!, bajo el mando de su jefa ejecutiva Marissa Mayer, dijo que cerrará el sitio Altavista, junto con otros once servicios.

Mayer está tomando una página de su antiguo empleador Google al revelar una lista de servicios que ya no van a continuar. Altavista fue uno de los sitios principales a tener en cuenta hasta que Google llegó a la escena web. Comenzó como una propiedad de Digital Equiptment Corp. en 1995 y fue vendido en 1999 a Compaq. Más tarde, Compaq vendió una participación mayoritaria a CMGI. Después de haber sido comprada por Overture en febrero de 2003, Yahoo adquirió Overture y sus propiedades (incluyendo a AltaVista) en julio de 2003.

Es una lástima ver a uno de los primeros sitios bien conocidos decirle adiós . Hasta la vista, AltaVista.
