	Lycos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CEO of the Lycos company was Bob Davis, a native of Boston who moved the headquarters of Lycos to Massachusetts from Pittsburgh, and concentrated on building it into an advertising-supported Web Portal, arguably at the expense of the information retrieval research on which the company was founded.
		Lycos Europe was a joint venture between Bertelsmann and Lycos, but has always been a distinct corporate entity.
		The Lycos company was purchased by Terra Networks, a subsidiary of the Spanish telephone company Telefónica, in October 2000, and the merged company was renamed Terra Lycos yet the Lycos brand was the US franchise.

	Fool.com: So Long, Lycos -- Hola, Terra Lycos [News] October 30, 2000
		Terra Lycos, as the new company is called, will begin trading on the Nasdaq tomorrow under the ticker "TRLY." Final terms of the all-stock deal, which were determined by the recent stock prices of both companies, have Lycos stockholders receiving 2.15 shares of Terra for every Lycos share they own.
		At bottom, the merger of Terra and Lycos is about what the company calls "the convergence of access and content, new media and old media." The vision is one of "leveraging Terra's and Lycos's services, audiences, and dominance in specific geographic regions" and achieving the scale necessary to compete effectively with Yahoo!
		Moreover, both Terra Lycos and Excite@Home reflect the assumption that because access and content services depend on and in some ways justify each other -- each is essentially meaningless alone -- they can significantly support each other and find synergies at the product and marketing level, and therefore belong under the same corporate roof.
