The Internet Gopher, much like the Web, enabled users to obtain information quickly and easily. Why, then, did it disappear but the Web did not?

    International Journal of Management & Information Systems – Fourth Quarter 2011 Volume 15, Number 4 History Of Search Engines Tom Seymour, Minot State University, USA Dean Frantsvog, Minot State University, USA Satheesh Kumar, Minot State University, USA ABSTRACT As the number of sites on the Web increased in the mid-to-late 90s, search engines started appearing to help people find information quickly. Search engines developed business models to finance their services, such as pay per click programs offered by Open Text in 1996 and then Goto.com in 1998. Goto.com later changed its name to Overture in 2001, and was purchased by Yahoo! in 2003, and now offers paid search opportunities for advertisers through Yahoo! Search Marketing. Google also began to offer advertisements on search results pages in 2000 through the Google Ad Words program. By 2007, pay-per-click programs proved to be primary money-makers for search engines. In a market dominated by Google, in 2009 Yahoo! and Microsoft announced the intention to forge an alliance. The Yahoo! & Microsoft Search Alliance eventually received approval from regulators in the US and Europe in February 2010. Search engine optimization consultants expanded their offerings to help businesses learn about and use the advertising opportunities offered by search engines, and new agencies focusing primarily upon marketing and advertising through search engines emerged. The term "Search Engine Marketing" was proposed by Danny Sullivan in 2001 to cover the spectrum of activities involved in performing SEO, managing paid listings at the search engines, submitting sites to directories, and developing online marketing strategies for businesses, organizations, and individuals.

    An Interview with MARK P. McCAHILL OH 328 Conducted by Philip L. Frana On 13 September 2001 Minneapolis, Minnesota Charles Babbage Institute Center for the History of Information Processing University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Copyright 2001, Charles Babbage Institute 1 Mark P. McCahill Interview 13 September 2001 Oral History 328 Abstract In this oral history Mark P. McCahill, Assistant Director of Academic and Distributed Computing Services at the University of Minnesota, recounts his role as leader of the team that created the popular client/server software for organizing and sharing information on the Internet. McCahill also describes his work in the development of Pop Mail, Gopher VR, Forms Nirvana, the Electronic Grants Managament System, and the University of Minnesota Portal. 2 This is an oral history conducted by Philip Frana under auspices of the Software History Project of the National Science Foundation. The interview date is September 13, 2001, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Frana: Let me start with my burning question which is central to how I’ve been thinking about Internet Gopher, and that is Tim Berners-Lee, in his new book, - I don’t know if you’ve read it…? McCahill: No. Frana: He says, “A computer typically keeps information in rigid hierarchies and matrices, whereas the human mind has the special ability to link random bits of data. The human mind usually sees organizing structures all the time but can also break out of them and make intuitive leaps across boundaries.” And the question is, did the Web and Berners-Lee have a more accurate model of how human cognition works than Gopher? Was Gopher easy to use because it was natural or was the Web more natural and more familiar? McCahill: I don’t know.

  • Introduction to IT
    Lesson Number: 1 Writer: Vishal Verma Information Concept and Processing System Vetter: 1.1 OBJECTIVE The objective of this lesson is to make the students familiar with the basics of Information and Data Processing System. After studying this lesson they will be familiar with: 1. What is Information & Data? 2. What are the processing systems for data and information? 3. What is information processing language? 1.2 INTRODUCTION An information processor or information processing system, as its name suggests, is a system (be it electrical, mechanical or biological) which takes information (a sequence of enumerated states) in one form and processes (transforms) it into another form, e.g. to statistics, by an algorithmic process. An information processing system is made up of four basic parts, or sub- systems: • input • processor • storage • output Lesson No. 1 Information Concept and Processing System 1 Anything in this world by which we can observe the change in one form of information into other, can be treated as an information system. Any object which in its one form is providing us the information in one form and after completion of some operation on same object the resultant object give us information in another form then the object in itself can be treated as an information system. Information science focuses on understanding problems from the perspective of the stakeholders involved and then applying information and other technologies as needed. In other words, it tackles systemic problems first rather than individual pieces of technology

    + Page 36 + 12.0 Navigational Enhancements Gopher provides an effective mechanism to allow an administrator to provide a hierarchical browsing list, for a campus, for the Internet, or both. But the organizational scheme carefully designed during months of deliberation by a campus menu design team may bear no relation whatsoever to the organization of a given user's brain. Even when the organizational scheme is suited to the user, the process of searching for information across many Gophers can be tedious. Recent developments have addressed both concerns. 12.1 "Road Map" and TS/TB In July 1992, Dennis Boone of Michigan State University implemented a "Road Map"--a representation of an entire Gopher's directory structure in a single text document. This allows users to read the map and get a feel for the lay of the land. Also that month, Boone implemented a Gopher title search tool. Known as "ts/tb," the title search allows the administrator to prepare keyword search indexes for the entire Gopher tree or for any part thereof. The user wanting to find the schedule for the campus opera society can do a keyword search on "opera," and all titles including that word will be served up as a menu. The title search tool has been adopted for use at a number of sites. One shortcoming is that document titles are pulled up from wherever they appear in the menu hierarchy, and they are presented without putting them in the context of the menu hierarchy. However, this usually does not lead to confusion. 12.2 Veronica In November 1992, Steven Foster and Fred Barrie of the University of Nevada announced a service that could search document titles across many Gopher servers.
