==History== Clusty was developed by Vivísimo in [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]]. Vivísimo was a company built on Web search technology developed by [[Carnegie Mellon University]] researchers, much like [[Lycos]] was a decade earlier. Clusty added new features and a new interface to the previous Vivisimo clustering web metasearch. Different tabs also offer metasearch for news, jobs (in partnership with Indeed.com), U.S. government information, and [[blogs]]. Customized tabs allow users to select sources for their own metasearch to create personalized tabs.{{cn|date=April 2024}} Yippy Inc., formerly Cinnabar Ventureess Inc., acquired Clusty for $5.55 million in May 2010.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.floridatechnologyjournal.com/sections/gulf-coast/130-news/525-yippy-acquires-metasearch-engine-clustycom-for-55-million |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100731054639/http://www.floridatechnologyjournal.com/sections/gulf-coast/130-news/525-yippy-acquires-metasearch-engine-clustycom-for-55-million |archive-date=2010-07-31 |title=Yippy Acquires Metasearch Engine Clusty.com for $5.5 Million - Florida Technology Journal}}</ref> The acquisition included the license for the Velocity software, which was bought by IBM in 2012 and renamed IBM Watson Explorer.<ref name="Yippy">{{cite news |url=http://www.news-press.com/article/20100523/BUSINESS/5230344/1014/BUSINESS/Yippy-growing-by-leaps--bounds |title=Yippy growing by leaps, bounds |publisher=[[The News-Press]] |date=23 May 2010 |access-date=24 May 2010 }}</ref> In 2012, Yippy received "Welcome to the Cloud" as a registered trademark with the USPTO.<ref>{{cite web|title=Yippy, Inc.
