Yahoo is celebrating its 20th anniversary on Monday, and plenty has changed in the world — and on the World Wide Web — since its launch in 1995.
To commemorate two decades on the Internet, Yahoo News editors came up with a list of Internet-era words and phrases that didn't exist when the company launched. Among them: "blogs," "selfies," and even "social media." Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was just 10 years old when Yahoo came online, tweets were strictly bird noises (without character limits) and Tumblrs weren't missing vowels.
The word "Yahoo" itself existed long before the company — it was coined in the 1726 novel "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift. "Yahoos" were a race of brutish creatures who were rude, unsophisticated and uncouth in the book. That's partly why founders Jerry Yang and David Filo picked it when they chose to rename their eponymous "Guide to the World Wide Web" Yahoo. The word was also an acronym for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle," a nod to the web portal's roots as a directory.
Below, to show how the digital landscape has changed over Yahoo's tenure in the tech world, 20 words and phrases that came into existence or were popularized after Yahoo went live in 1995.
