Hoss “Cyber Jester” Delgado (nprofile…gu4k) You don’t have to imagine.
We had it. It was called Yahoo.
At the start you had to email Yahoo ask them to list your page in one of their categories. If they did not like you, you did not go into the index and did not get scraped.
This is why everyone used WebCrawler, Infoseek, Lycos, and Altavista: they actually found webpages.
