We started putting together a "hotlist"
of favorite sites from David and myself,
and we called it "Jerry's Guide to
the World Wide Web" Before we knew
it, people from all over the world were
using this database that we created.

In June 1994, while it is still our hobby,
we renamed it "yahoo" to stand
for "yet another hierarchical officious
oracle".

David and I and the rest of the Yahoos
here really believe that the internet
should remain as free as possible. At
the same time we are a business and have
fiscal responsibilities.

We hope that the internet becomes even
more affordable and more ubiquitous over
time, and our mission at Yahoo! is to
continue to keep our services available
AND useful on all these platforms.

I have to say I was a bit shocked to see
myself on the cover (TIME magazine). It's
really not my style since Yahoo! is something
built by a lot more people than just me..

We are very much believers that the web
is an open environment, and we need to
make sure that people can find all kinds
of different stuff through Yahoo!, and
not necessarily keeping people within
Yahoo!
