Company co-founded by <Scott Hassan>, early <Google> programmer at <Stanford University>, and <Carl Victor Page, Jr.>, <Larry Page>'s older brother.
They were an email list management website, and became Yahoo! Groups after the aquisition.
The company was sold to <Yahoo!> in August 2000 for \$432m and became <Yahoo! Groups>. They managed to miraculously dodge the <Dot-com bubble>. After the acquisition, Yahoo started to redirect them to: http://groups.yahoo.com as can be seen on the <Wayback Machine>: http://web.archive.org/web/20000401000000*/egroups.com The first archive of https://groups.yahoo.com is from February 2001: http://web.archive.org/web/20010202055100/http://groups.yahoo.com/ and it unsurprisingly looks basically exactly like eGroups.
