Tell PG: You missed NorthernLight in 'Sanpshot: Viaweb..' article

I think you missed the good ol' NorthernLight in the list of search engines in there. Can't recollect any others.

Spot on: the term SEO was not coined, or at the least, not in any noticeable use back then in '98. :)

Oh, you better be sure - it (NorthernLight) did use to matter alright. Used to be mentioned in almost every print article related to the Internet/search. :)

Was not at all on my radar as IBM’s CTO in the 1990s. Perhaps it catered to a more specialized audience.
