wow!
I still remember WAY back before www advertising some CNBC type show had a guy on talking about the future of the internet and how a company like yahoo might generate money. He put up the Yahoo directory page and said, 'Now imagine advertising in this space over here and perhaps over here too.'
I immediately 'got it' and knew that it wouldn't be long before advertising was EVERYWHERE on the web.
I haven't used the directory in a very long time, but it makes me a little sad to know that it's gone now. It was one of the first landmarks of the internet age.
