Is it true, did AV really power InfoSpace, SEARCH.COM, Yahoo and others in 1997? Does anyone know more information about it?

Yes, When I first browsed the net way back, I just knew about altavista and I am suer altavista was the bets serach engine then. I wonder if people still use it that much.

They also used to give away free email @altavista.com or .net! I don't remember. Was cool then. :-)
