In the next year and a half the stock went down by 99.9%. In the end, Inktomi was acquired by Yahoo for 250M.

This is unrelated to the main point, but does anyone know if Yahoo re-used a significant amount of Inktomi tech acquired for that $250M? Or was it spoiled?

I've been told (by people from Inktomi who then worked at Yahoo), that yes, the Inktomi technology became the main Yahoo search engine. (How much it changed or not in the process, I don't know)

Apache Traffic Server, nee Inktomi Traffic Server, is still alive and kicking.
