Yahoo
One of the largest most popular human-edited web directories on the Internet.
Extracted from their website " Yahoo's two founders, David Filo and Jerry Yang,
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 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 ."
