That archived Yahoo! page is something, isn't it? I miss it, too. Today's Yahoo! is an utter mess. I'm not optimistic that MSFT will help. Oh wow, John.

I'm talking the old directory based Y!. Something like <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/19990208021720/http://www9.yahoo.com/." rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/19990208021720/http://www9.yahoo.com/.</a> That's what the whole new 'search' generation is missing. Back in the day, when I was looking for something, I'd fire up two browsers (before tabs), one at Yahoo, one at Google, I'd start searching at Goog and then trolling the directory at Yahoo, generally finding what I needed in a combination of the two. I miss that. I miss a user-built, moderated directory of the Internet. Heck, I think there's still space for it in the world... I really really miss the old Yahoo.
