<World-Wide Web> Yet Another Hierarchical
Officious/Obstreperous/Odiferous/Organized Oracle.
(Or a member of a race of brutes in Swift's Gulliver's Travels
who have the form and all the vices of man, or an uncouth or
rowdy person).
Probably the biggest hierarchical index of the {World-Wide
Web}. Originally at {Stanford University}, Yahoo moved to its
own site in April 1995. It allows you to move up and down the
heirarchy, to search it and to suggest additions. It also
features "What's New", "What's Popular", "What's Cool" and a
random link.
