Most popular sites: annual ranking from 1996 to 2014
If you think that Google, Facebook, Amazon have always been large and super popular resources, and existed, how much you remember yourself - then set aside your homework and sit closer. Now I will tell you about the ancient Internet. Or rather, about the 20 most popular sites in each of the years, starting with 96.
The Internet in the second half of the 90s was in fact only emerging, and it was a dark and strange place. There was no Google or Facebook at all. Amazon only reached the top in '98. Of the surviving veterans, only AOL and Yahoo can be called. In 96, several of the rating sites were owned by colleges that were heavily involved in the development of the Internet. From 1996 to 2000 - this is the year of rapid development of the Internet and the dot-com boom. Raise your old paws those who had a page on GeoCities? And, remember this service? He was swallowed by the giant Yahoo. The main search engine of the five-year plan is Altavista.
Well, the most popular site was the AOL site. And no wonder - this is after all the page of the largest US provider of the first level . In 1997, half of Americans went online using this provider, using proprietary software that formed their online community. An interesting fact is that AOL hostel is the first multiplayer online RPG with graphics instead of text, since 1991, Neverwinter Nights (no, this is not the kind of game from BioWare).
')
The beginning of the two thousandth - is ruled by Microsoft / MSN with its Windows and the rapidly emerging Google, overturning all other search engines.
The middle of the zero - a blue giant appears Facebook, and Google is fixed at the top of the rankings, changing only with Yahoo. And eBay is losing ground.
Our era. The status quo for today is Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Facebook. It is not clear what they are doing in the first ten of Glam Media, and who they are. Apparently, some group of women's sites and blogs.
