Internet trivia if you want to call it that...

Original search engines that included chat options. There was yahoo, lycos, excite, Alta Vista, webcrawler and something, I'm trying to recall, with a red dot in the logo or design. Help me brainstorm here. Mid to late 90s...what ones am I missing?

Was "Ask Jeeves" around then?

 

[Yawn]

Yeah, add that one but it wasn't the one I was thinking of. It was around maybe two years.

That's just it. I don't know the freakin answer. I can sense it and see it but I can't find it anywhere. I know it was out there, maybe about six months nationally. Damn it.

Sorry if I came across as Archie Bunker at Kelsey's Bar trying to find out who the surgeon was who said they couldn't operate on their own kid.

IWON?

 

[Yawn]

No, that provided a contest. It had a red dot/spot in its homepage, very simplistic.

 

[Yawn]

Figured it out...

There was one with a gopher or a groundhog or something too. I used to use it all the time and I can't remember what it was.
