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.
