wow, sounds like GeoCities is really going places. i hope it works out for them!


And the other two companys mentioned, Excite and AltaVista.

They sound like great places to work.


Not to mention ABN Amro, which was effectively bailed out and nationalised during the global financial crisis. If only AltaVista had been considered too big to fail...

I say "effectively", because the many mergers and splits it went through in the 00s meant the large parts nationalise in the Netherland and the UK were not identical to what it was in '99 when this analyst was interviewed.


ABN was acquired by RBS, which then went bust and was bailed out for a bunch of reasons.

I was kind of surprised to discover a few months back that altavista.com still exists and is serving-up search results.
