We started Yahoo in about April 1994.
It started out as a way for us to keep
track of things that we were interested
in. David

- Internet
First of all we had very few users. We
might have had a hundred accesses a day.
So there was really no demand from the
users to add their own links. Things changed
over time though as our access rates doubled
every month. Through word of mouth on
the Net more and more people began using
it. David

The Net as a whole is not that reliable,
so our blips in service don't cause major
problems. However, we are certainly working
on improving our own reliability as well
as those sites that we depend on. David
