Lycos Turning Search Lights Out?
A rumour is circulating that says Lycos has laid off most of its search team and is retaining a skeleton crew to keep its beleaguered services operating.John Battelle, one of the most experienced search journalists, is reporting that two of his sources have confirmed the story.
In the early days, Lycos was considered one of the most important search engines and was one of the most trafficked web destinations. The rise of Google, combined with several difficult years following the dot-com stock meltdown sealed the fate of the once popular search tool. Now it appears to be formally throwing in the towel, joining the ranks of the other retired originals such as Infoseek, Excite, Magellan and Alta Vista.
So long Lycos, it's been goog to know you.
