1995年3月2日,互聯網服務公司 Yahoo! 正式成立,成為早期互聯網發展史上的重要里程碑。
Yahoo! 由史丹福大學研究生楊致遠(Jerry Yang)與 David Filo 創立。最初,它只是一個網站目錄,用分類方式整理不斷增加的網頁連結。在搜尋技術尚未成熟的年代,Yahoo! 讓使用者更容易找到資訊。
隨著90年代末互聯網迅速普及,Yahoo! 逐步擴展業務,推出電郵、新聞、財經及搜尋服務,成為全球最多人使用的網站之一,也是「網絡泡沫時代」的重要象徵。
對於許多用戶而言,Yahoo! 是他們接觸互聯網的第一扇門。
1995年3月2日,不只是公司成立的一天,更是數碼時代早期篇章的開端。

On March 2, 1995, Yahoo! was officially founded, marking a significant milestone in the early development of the internet.
Created by Stanford University graduate students Jerry Yang and David Filo, Yahoo! began as a curated directory designed to organize the rapidly expanding World Wide Web. At a time when search engines were still primitive, Yahoo! provided users with categorized links, making online navigation far easier.
As internet adoption accelerated in the late 1990s, Yahoo! expanded into email services, news, finance, and search capabilities. It quickly became one of the most visited websites in the world and a defining symbol of the dot-com era.
For millions of users, Yahoo! was their first experience of the internet — a digital front door to information, communication, and global connection.
Although the technology landscape would later evolve dramatically, March 2, 1995 remains a landmark date in the history of the web.
