Excite Live! was one of the many services (circa ~1996) offered by Excite, which was kinda-sorta like Yahoo (search, web site directory, etc, etc) but is mostly remembered today as the company that could have bought Google for pennies but passed on it.
I briefly worked for Excite entirely by accident, but my tenure there was pretty brief due to an odd situation. I was originally hired by Novo Media Group who at the time was in the final stages of a merger with McKinley (known for the Magellan search engine), and McKinley's Sausalito offices were closer to my home (Novo was in SF and I was living in Marin) so I was located in that office under the assumption that both offices would soon be serving the same company but the deal with Novo fell through, Excite bought McKinley and things got weird and I left.
