Die Gartenlaube – Illustriertes Familienblatt was the first successful mass-circulation German newspaper and a forerunner of all modern magazines. It was founded by publisher Ernst Keil and editor Ferdinand Stolle in Leipzig, Kingdom of Saxony in 1853, their objective was to reach and enlighten the whole family in the German middle classes, with a mixture of current events, essays on the natural sciences, biographical sketches, short stories and full-page illustrations. At the height of its popularity Die Gartenlaube was read across the German speaking world, it could be found in all German states, the German colonies in Africa and among the significant German-speaking minorities of Latin America, such as Brazil. Austrian composer Johann Strauss II published a waltz dedicated to its readers, with the English title "Gartenlaube Waltz", in 1895. During its 91-year history the journal changed owners several times. By the turn of the century it had become more focused on entertainment, in the buildup to World War I it came under the control of right-wing nationalists.

These changes corresponded to a decline in its readership. It was purchased outright by the Nazi publishing house Eher Verlag in 1938, who renamed it Die neue Gartenlaube, ceased publication in 1944. Despite this, today Die Gartenlaube remains important for comprehensive historical analysis in many fields and is regarded as an essential source for the understanding of German cultural history. Circulation of Die Gartenlaube increased following its initial 1853 print run of 5,000 copies, reaching 60,000 by the end of its fourth year. After the magazine introduced serialized novels, its paid circulation increased rising to 160,000 by 1863 and 382,000 by 1875. By comparison, most daily newspapers of the period had a circulation of only 4,000 copies. Since Die Gartenlaube became common family reading and many lending libraries and cafes took delivery, estimates of actual readership run between two and five million, it kept this market supremacy until at least 1887 and at one time it claimed to have the largest readership of any publication in the world.

The format of the magazine consisted of 16-20 pages each, in quarto size. The text, printed in a Fraktur font, was typeset with elaborate engraved illustrations and with some photographs. Die Gartenlaube's masthead depicted a grandfatherly figure reading aloud to a family around a table. Between 1853 and 1880 works by prominent German writers such as Goethe and Schiller dominated its pages. Goethe was featured 75 times in print and 14 times in illustrations, Schiller was featured 90 times in print and 15 times in illustrations. Publication of works by novelist E. Marlitt in serial form, such as Goldelse beginning in 1866, had a significant impact on the magazine's popularity and on Marlitt's celebrity. A famous image by Willy Stöwer of the sinking of the RMS Titanic was published by the magazine in 1912. Die Gartenlaube went through a number of distinct phases throughout its history; the early volumes up to German unification in 1871 were envisioned to be a "people's encyclopedia", covering a wide range of interests.

Founded by radical liberal publisher Ernst Keil, it was committed to the creation of a national democratic unity government and an enlightened population. The promotion of bourgeois values contrasted with the decline of aristocratic norms. During this period Die Gartenlaube was noted for a neutral to positive view of Jews, with occasional articles on Jewish family life. In the years following the founding of the German Empire in 1871, Die Gartenlaube became antisemitic, publishing among other things Otto Glagau's violent attacks on "the Jews" from 1874 to 1876; the weekly was seen as a defender of Prussian policy. Their dedicated and polemical interest in the culture war, came to the defense of the liberal world view. Arguments in support of the National Liberal Party were supported in particular; when Ernst Keil died in 1878 the magazine had reached the height of its success and influence, with a paid circulation of 372,000. Its actual readership was at least 2 million, making it one of the most read publications in the world.

In 1886, Keil's widow sold Die Gartenlaube to his son Alfred. As co-owner/editors, under their guidance the paper changed in scope and content. Die Gartenlaube became conservative and political or religious issues were no longer covered; the topics of divorce and suicide were taboo after this repositioning. Instead of a popular encyclopedia meant to enlighten and educate, by the turn of the century Die Gartenlaube was an entertainment paper. In 1904, Die Gartenlaube was purchased by entrepreneur and right-wing nationalist August Scherl and the tone of the newspaper became political. In the run up to World War I, one article stated that the coming war was to be "the happy, great hour of struggle", not only because of German technological advances but because it would be "more beautiful and more magnificent to live forever on the plaque of heroes than to die a hollow death without name in a bed". By buying up numerous other publishers, Scherl's company "Scherl-Verlag" had the largest circulation in Germany.

However, his various costly business projects were not economically successful, so he sold the company to the "German Publishers Society" in 1914 and retired. In 1916 the Scherl-Verlag publishing house was acquired by industrialist Alfred Hugenberg. During the interwar period, Hugenberg used his new media empire to help Adolf Hitler become

The Google Directory was a web directory hosted by Google. It was discontinued on July 20, 2011. However, the Google business places and recommended businesses is now referred to as the Google directory; the Google Directory was organized into 14 main categories: Arts Business Computers Games Health Home News Recreation Reference Regional Science Shopping Society SportsThere were two other links on the page: World and Kids and Teens. The World link offered the directory in other languages; the Kids and Teens link was a separate web archive for teens. All of the Google Directory was based on the Open Directory Project; the main page had links to the 14 main categories, along with the World and Kids and Teens links. There was a big search box on top. On top of, the slogan in green letters: "The web organized by topic into categories." On top of that were links to other Google services. Each main category page had links to sub-main category pages, as well as a search box on top of it. For example, the Games main category would have sub-main categories such as Board Games or Video Games.

Each category took the user to the category page, which would have websites that belong to it, or further subcategories that dealt with more detailed areas of that category. The user would get to a page with no more subcategories; every page had a search box at the top, allowing the user to search that page or the whole directory. Each page might have links to related categories; some links were redirects to other pages. The World link had the names of languages. If the user clicked on one, they would be taken to a version of the directory in that language, but they had no appearance to the main page. As the name states, it had pages for teens, it was disconnected from the rest of the directory, so if you clicked it by accident, you would have to press the back button on your web browser. The Google Directory was built upon the Open Directory Project. Google integrated its search system into it. Everything was green. There were links on the bottom. If a search result was in the directory, Google included a link to the respecting category.

If someone wanted to have a listing in the Google Directory, they would have to be listed in the Open Directory Project
