After so long, they feel that the data and information that they collect too much and spacious. That's when they start to break it down into the categories. Of all the categories that exist, they broke out again into sub-sub categories. And this is where they start thinking about a concept that was born of their need to overcome all their problems over the years, ranging from data search to organizing these data. This concept will be transformed into Yahoo.
But the first time they build a web site, the name they use is 'Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web'. After that they changed the name to Yahoo derived from an acronym "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle." But according to both of them, the main reason to choose the name Yahoo is because the general definition of Yahoo itself, which means' rude, unsophisticated, uncouth. "
