Lycos
From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia
Lycos is an
Internet search engine and
web directory. It was born from a research project by Dr. Michael Mauldin of
Carnegie Mellon University in
1994. The original Lycos search engine went on to be used in Carnegie Mellon's Informedia Digital Library project.
The name "Lycos" comes from Latin, meaning "wolf spider".
The Lycos company was eventually purchased by Terra SA, a subsidiary of the Spanish telephone company Telef?ica, and renamed Terra Lycos.
