For a historical chapter about the Internet that I'm co-writing, I'd
appreciate knowing:
1. Does Yahoo's portal-based directory service still exist, and if so how
do I get to it. (I want to give an example)
(I suppose I could go to the Internet Archive but that seems daunting.)
2. what were the names of the people (usually Bay Area students) who
laboriously constructed the hierachy of categories in Yahoo. Such as:
Academic Institutions > Universities > Canada > Ontario, etc.
No guesses, please.
