Internet and Web

Archie (1990) was the first search tool for the pre-web Internet, specifically designed to index FTP (File Transfer Protocol) archives. It was created by Alan Emtage at McGill University. Overture, Baidu, and AltaVista came later - AltaVista was a web search engine (1995), not a pre-web tool.

In 2004, Microsoft transitioned to its own search technology powered by MSNBot, their proprietary web crawler. This marked Microsoft's move away from relying on other search providers. 'msnsearch,' 'msnlive,' and 'msn' were service/brand names, not the crawler technology itself.

PageRank is Google's proprietary algorithm that assigns a numerical weight to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents. It measures the relative importance of pages to determine their ranking in search results.

Bing was marketed as a 'decision engine' to differentiate it from Google. The campaign emphasized its ability to help users make decisions through organized search results, rather than just finding links.

A splog (spam blog) is a fake blog created solely to promote affiliate products, increase ad revenue, or manipulate search engine rankings. Unlike legitimate blogs, splogs contain scraped or low-quality content and exist primarily for commercial exploitation.

CNET is not an acronym for Ceridian's intranet. CNET (Computer Network) is a well-known technology media and news website founded in 1994. Ceridian's intranet would have a different name entirely. The statement is false.

Google's search engine was originally called 'BackRub' due to its ability to analyze backlinks. The option C 'BalckRub' appears to be a typo for the correct name 'BackRub'. The other options are incorrect - it was never called 'Gsearch' or 'Blakkle', and 'Google' was the name adopted later.

Email predates the World Wide Web. The first email was sent in 1971, while the Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989-1990. Email existed in various forms on early networks before the internet became widespread.

Symbolics.com was the first domain name ever registered on the internet on March 15, 1985, predating Google.com by over a decade. The other options came later or are incorrect historical references.

The first internet address used by TCS for emails was tcsinternet.tcs.ernet.in. ERNET (Education and Research Network) was India's early internet infrastructure, and .tcs.ernet.in was the domain used before commercial domains became common. The other options like tcs.co.in or tcs.com are modern commercial domains that came later.

The first internet address used by TCS for emails was tcsernet.tcs.ernet.in. ERNET (Education and Research Network) was India's early internet infrastructure in the 1980s-90s. The tcs.ernet.in subdomain was used before commercial domains like tcs.co.in became available.
