Ok. Basically.

Lycos bought Wired and everything
related a year ago or so.

At some point, Telefonica (Spain
biggest Telecom) thought it would
be cool to have an internet branch.

So they bought a small search engine
called ole.com and injected a lot
of money so they could make an IPO. And
they called it Terra.

A year later Terra had a few billions
in the pocket and bought Lycos.

And became Terra Lycos. And as Lycos
was owner of Wired, Webmonkey became
part of the Terra Lycos Network.


piece of cake, right?
