So long AltaVista... you were my favorite search engine of the '90s!
 
It was a nice search engine. Before Google, if you knew how to use the filters, it was the best way to filter out junk websites
 
So long Altavista, you had a great run.

A few years into the Google era, gave Altavista another try. The results it found for me were far from what was expected. I almost cried.
 
Yes, you will be missed, that's for sure.

I feel I was the only one (that I knew of), that still used it, so I understand why.

And I had no idea Yahoo owned it either.

Sorta reminds me of when aol ruled the world too...

Farewell....
 
Sigh... This article really made me reminisce on how the internet used to be.
