Yehey....

Ok fine, ako na ang Old School, eh sa marami-rami akong naaalalang mga site lately eh, mga dati kong ginagamit na site tapos lately eh bigla kong namissed, sign of aging na daw ito, reminiscing the past, yahoo, ako na ang Wrangler, yeah.

Anyway, speaking of yahoo, for today’s post!!! locally made naman tayo, alam ba news eh este niyo, kung merong Yahoo.com ang America ay meron din tayong Yehey.com? tama, Yehey nga… alam ko konti lang ang nakakalam nito, pero sa totoo lang, kaya talaga nating makipag sabayan sa mundo eh, kung meron lang talagang suporta ang bawat isa sa atin.

Sumikat ito noong 1997, at naging tanyag sa buong Pilipinas, ito ang kauna-unahang search engine na gawang pinoy, kaya naman tunay na maipagmamalaki, may tatak ng isang tunay na Pilipino, Yehey na Yehey talaga.

Naaalala ko, parang meron din ata silang bersyon ng YMChat eh, at tinatawag nila ito TOL, parang talk online ata ang ibig sabihin niyan or tambayan online, basta masmainam siyang gamitin kesa sa YM, kasi sa YM, exclusive lang na YM Members ang makakachat mo, eh sa TOL, lahat na ata eh, pwede mong e-add ang mga kachat mo sa YM, parang AIM siya, or ehem, yung sikat para sa mga Call Center Agent ang “imo.im” yehey talaga.

Sa baba makikita niyo ang screenshot na nanakaw ko sa web.archive.org.

1997 screenshot ng Yehey.com

2000 screenshot ng Yehey.com

At meron din tayong pinoymail.com, kagaya ng yehey.com, sumikat din ito noong dekada 90’s, 1998 ata ng una itong ginawa, kaso nagsara na ata ito noong 2005, hindi ako sigurado, kasi lately ng buksan ko siya eh hindi ko na mahanap ang site, nakapag register pa naman ako dito noong 1998 sa account na “heavenlydevil”, sayang naman ang mga kaibigan ko na nakaregsiter sa email na yun, the last time kasi na ginamit ko siya was year 2000 ata…!!! yehey… naaalala ko pa.

Pinoymail screenshot 2000, sensya na po, 

eh ang screen shot niya kasi sa 1997 eh hindi nagwowork eh.

Marahil, hinding-hindi ko ito makakalimutan ang mga panahong ito, yung panahong walang-wala akong alam sa Internet at computers. Hmmm…. Mablog nga ito bukas.

Anyway.. kung gusto niyo pong makita ang dating mukha ng favorite website niyo noon ay visit niyo lang po ang web.archive.org.

Salamat sa pagbabasa.

Beta Mode Archive

Yesterday I posted something about Wikipedia,but have you ever thought how was Wikipedia looks like way back 10 years ago, have you ever thought what was the face of your favorite search engine before? Have you ever wonder what was the feature they are offering? Have you ever wonder what was the first email provider?

Well, the Internet revolution can be traced back to 1950-1960’s with the development of computers, through the years and decade of research and study, Internet has grown wide and more functioning, and together with these advancing and modern innovations is the more useful tool for internet.

1990’s considered to be the golden age for the commercialization of the internet, and during that time a lot of commercial website was born and among these are Yahoo, MailCity, Hotmail, Rocketmail, and some other famous website such as ESPN, MTV and other more.

But have you ever thought how it’s like to log on to yahoo that time. Below is some of the screen shot I took from the web. And I feel like WOW, I missed those days, the day when I am still ignorant about internet, I missed going to the Internet café and not knowing where to start.

Yahoo in Beta Mode (1997) it's one of the earliest Search Engine

and is also one of the most successful.

Google in Beta mode (1999)... also one of the earliest

and for me the most friendly user of them all.

AltaVista.com is the famous and most powerful search engine back then.

I really really like using this when searching for something.

MailCity 1998, one of the earliest Commercial Email Provider.

if I am not mistaken Mailcity was bought by Lycos.

Hot Mail 1997, yeah.. I definitely have an account here either. 

This was powered by MSN.

RocketMail 1998, one of my frustrations, and up to now.

I still regret not signing up with them.

Before kasi... Astig ka talaga kapag naka Rocket mail ka,.

but you know what, this was acquired by Yahoo. and the Yahoo Mail is the Old Rocket mail.

Although I have Yahoo Mail, I still regret not signing up with them when they are still known as rocket mail.

2001 Old Wikipedia Website...

AngelFire (1997) was the hottest Free web hosting service back in the 1990's.

I wonder if my old old simple HTML website still exist.

ESPN.com (1998), my MailCity account was always full because of NBL, NBA update.

And becuase there were no facebook, Friendster and Myspace back then.

No twitter, and others.. I always see to it that I am connected to MTV-Asia.com

this was 1998

and lastly, yours truly BLOGGER.com (1999 Edition), yeah....

And so you see ladies and gentlemen. it's been 15 years or more, but stuill some of the website I've mentioned still exist or shall we say all of them still exist.

it's so nice to look back at the time when everybody is still naive in using internet.

if you want to know how does your favorite website looks like.

Wiki

Do you see the images below? Yes! It’s the Wikipedia result when you browse something about Kate Middleton, but did you notice what’s the different between the two images? Well if not, ha-ha, read on baby.

Kate Middleton Profile on Wikipedia (April 29,2011)

Kate Middleton Profile on Wikipedia (April 30,2011)

Wikipedia is one of the powerful tools over the Internet browsing today; it begun its operation way back 2001 by joined project of Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger using the concept and technology of a wiki pioneered by Ward Cunningham. The Idea is to create a free online free web page that helps the people for searching something on the net.

Wiki is Hawaiian word means “Quick or Fast”, while Pedia is from Encyclopedia, together they put the two word and chuala “WIKIPEDIA” was born, the good thing about this website is they have about 18 million articles (over 3.6 million in English) have been written collaboratively by volunteers around the world, and almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site.

Just like the images below, if did not notice, there is actually a different between the two, the first one is the snapshot for the result I took April 29, 2011, I heard that Prince William and Kate Middleton is getting married, I was curious about her Kate, so I decided to searched her name on Wikipedia, and the result was the first image below, so yesterday, April 30, 2011, I searched again her name and the result was the second image.

The first image shows that Kate Middleton is the fiancée of Prince William, and their wedding will take place on April 29, 2011 while the second image shows that she is the Wife of Prince William, haha, see how updated the Wikipedia website is, in just about a day old, the profile of Princess Kate was updated from being the fiancée to wife (Cool).

Through the years of using the Internet Wikipedia has become a part of my journey and quest in blogging and self exploration, it helps me to define the things that I can’t understand; it helps me gain knowledge that only through Internet can be found. Wikipedia make it easy for us to make a research and gather some information about any topic.

If you search about something now a day, it’s a lot faster compare than before, but of course that is only if you have internet access, nyehehehehe.

Thank you to Wikipedia for your effort in helping us.

And lastly, thank you for reading my blog
