Excite (web portal)

Uncommon card · No. 179715

Excite was a web portal providing a list of hyperlinks to other websites online from 1995 to 2026. Founded in 1993, Excite.com was once the world's sixth most visited website in 1997. It merged with @Home Network in 1999 and filed for bankruptcy in 2001, after the bursting of the dot-com bubble; the website went into a steep decline in popularity thereafter. Its services were acquired by iWon and then by Ask Jeeves, which was acquired by IAC Inc. Excite continued to be operated by Ask Media Group through the 2000s and 2010s, with search services were provided by System1. Excite.com was shut down in August 2026 following the shutdown of Ask.com. Excite Japan (エキサイト), however, continues to be operated by Excite Holdings, formed in 2018.
