For those not aware...<p>Diller left QVC a few years later but through the late 90s acquired Home Shopping Network and a bunch of other media assets, to form a conglomerate that would eventually be called IAC/InterActiveCorp.<p>IAC has owned (and sometimes created) some of the biggest consumer brands on the web, including Expedia, TripAdvisor, Match Group (including Tinder, OkCupid, PlentyOfFish), CollegeHumor, Vimeo, Ask.com, Angie's List, UrbanSpoon, and more.<p>I've heard people sneer about IAC (I can't find it now but I recall a few years ago seeing a tweet from someone notable to the effect that IAC is where online brands to go die).<p>But you know, as a stable for solid, profitable e-commerce brands it seems to be doing OK.<p>It's interesting to note that this article was written in 1993 and contains no mention of the word "internet", and Diller was already into his 50s and only just learning how to use a computer, but he knew something big was brewing that he could be a part of.<p>Within a few years he was one of the biggest players in the internet boom, rode out the crash and thrived in the aftermath to become one of the most solid online media companies around.<p>Pretty impressive.
