It began as a web portal launched by Jeff Gold. Go.com acquire 13th rank in the United States and this site includes content from ABC News and ESPN which are associated with Disney and are hosted under a .go.com name. Along with Time Warner's Pathfinder.com, Go.com proved to be an expensive failure for its parent company, as web users preferred to use

search engines to access content directly, rather than start at a top-level corporate portal. In 2013, the site was transitioned from a portal to a simple landing page.
