Small Mistakes That Cost Millions To Fix
Excite disregards Google – $748 billion
Excite.com was the second biggest search engine in 199 behind Yahoo. They were presented with the biggest opportunity to purchase new start up Google for a mere $750,000 and they ended up turning down the offer.
They explained Google wanted to take out all the Excite technology and replace it with Google tech, which was a major no go for them. Today, Google’s parent company Alphabet is currently worth a whopping $748 billion.
