Facebook

2009 was the greatest depression some of us have ever known. Yet for Facebook, they have only started making profits! 2009 was the greatest year for Facebook. The Facebook domain was purchased for $200,000; today, Facebook has over 24 million photos uploaded daily!

Amazon

Probably the only reason Amazon is what it is today is because when Yahoo was the dominant search engine, they would list everything alphabetically. So, Amazon was listed before everyone else. I feel bad for the guy who had something starting with an X, Y, or Z!

Yahoo

Do you know what yahoo stands for, or do you think it's just a work? Yahoo actually stands for: Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle ! It is quite a strange name, brainstormed by David Filo and Jerry Yang.
