Tripod.com is a web hosting service owned by Lycos. It was one of several sites trying to build online communities during the 1990s.
The service that aims college students and young people, was founded by Bo Peabody and Brett Hershey, along with Dick Sabot, a professor at the school. The company was headquartered in Williamstown, Massachusetts, with Peabody as CEO. Although it would eventually focus on the internet, Tripod also published a magazine named Tools for Life.
