Yahoo was created by the two founders: David Filo and Jerry Yang, Ph.D. candidates in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University as a way to save and keep track of their personal interest.Jerry and David soon found they were not alone in wanting a single place to find useful Web sites. Before long, hundreds of people were accessing their guide from well beyond the Stanford trailer. Word spread from friends to what quickly became a significant, loyal audience throughout the closely-knit Internet community. Yahoo! celebrated its first million-hit day in the fall of 1994, translating to almost 100 thousand unique visitors.

Have you read Yahoo's updated privacy policy? There's some mumbo
jumbo about advertising. Advertising is why they save searches
and more.
