Along with Excite, Lycos pretty much burned in Bubble 1.0, but you might recognise the name from Wired, as Terra Lycos, the later company (german owned for memory) also owned Wired Mag online for many years. As for todays activities, the only thing I know about them now is they own and run a service called Tripod, which also does blogging (not huge, but B level free service), Tripod was bought by Lycos years ago, Tripod originally being the main competition to Geocities way back then (Geocities being bought by Yahoo!). Enough history :-) ....
