These Dot-Com Companies From CMGi Were Precursors For Many of Today's Successful Web Products

Yesterday, we took a look at the history of CMGi, an incubator and venture capital firm from the dot-com era.  The company was based in Andover, Massachusetts.  It had a historic rise and a rapid fall, as the internet bubble burst in 2000.

During the mid to late '90s, the internet was the wild west, as lots of companies were being built to leverage this new form of technology.  Regardless of the financial outcome of the companies being built over this time period, they were still groundbreaking and ultimately laid down the foundation for what the internet is today.

We decided to take a look at CMGi's portfolio in Boston (operatings companies and investments) from the dot-com era and translate these companies into the web products of today.

Below are the details in a slideswhow.  We gathered the images from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.  We apologize that some of the images unded up being incomplete, but at least it gives you a glimpse as to what the homepages looked like for each company.
