Wired News: Gopher: Underground Technology: "Back in 1992, when 'yahoo' was something cowboys yelled and 'ebay' was just pig Latin, the University of Minnesota developed a new way of looking at data on the Internet. Their protocol, called 'gopher' after the UMN mascot, allowed archivists to present the mishmash of information in a standard format, and enabled readers to navigate documents on a world of servers using a simple visual interface."
