We Did The Base Thing First! TulipBase Beat GoogleBase to the Market by 7 Years!

Amazing the forgotten things you can find when digging around in the depths of your servers, and since the last time we updated the data in this one was in February 2000 I'd completely forgotten about it.

Not only did we beat Google to the Internet (our 1st site opened 4 months before google.com), but we also beat them to the whole Base thing!!!!!!!! Common051

The long forgotten TulipBase (debuted in late '98, closed in early '00): http://www.tulipsandbears.com/cgi-bin/we...085.889229&query=Security%2BName%3Debay%26Security%2BSymbol%3D%26Current%2BShares%2BShort%3D%26Previous%2BMonth%2BShares%2BShort%3D%26Change%2Bin%2BShares%2BShort%2Bfrom%2BPrevious%2BMonth%3D%26Percent%2BChange%2Bin%2BShares%2BShort%2Bform%2BPrevious%2BMonth%3D20%26Average%2BDaily%2BShare%2BVolume%3D%26pagenum%3D1%26cgifunction%3DSearch&cgifunction=form

(here's one of the front ends)

"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"

"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site.
best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011
