Lycos

Lycos began as a search engine out of Carnegie Mellon University in 1994. It went public in 1996 but was bought by Terra Networks in 2000 for $5.4 billion at the height of the dot-com bubble. In 2004 it was sold off to South Korean Daum Communications for a mere $95.4 million.

Lycos currently focuses on building communities around broadband media.
