OTD in 1995, Alta Vista launched. One of the 1st successful Web search engines, it went from 300K hits on its 1st day to >80M by 1997 and was the 11th most visited website in 1998. But it steadily lost ground in the early 2000s, primarily to Google, finally shutting down in 2013. https://t.co/kb3ULV1u01 — PolitiTweet.org
