Google had a web accelerator back in the day. It's one of the earliest apps I remember Google launching. "Wow, they're giving away their software and bandwidth for free? Not related to their search engine? What's the catch?" They pulled it pretty quickly after it started deleting databases.
I'm getting pretty old and my memory's getting foggy, so I could be wrong...it's hard to remember back to the "advances" that were happening in ~1999-2001 while I was drunk on my new GATech dorm internet power. So if it was another company then I apologize in advance.
