The Servidor de Apontadores Portugueses Online (SAPO, English: Portuguese Online Pointers Server) is a Portuguese portal and provider of products and services for the Internet. Founded in 1995 as a search engine, it is the largest internet portal in Portugal.[1] The current SAPO logo was created in 2014.[2]

SAPO is an information hub and receives over 61 million visits per month.[2] Currently, SAPO is produced by MEO - Serviços de Comunicações e Multimédia.

History

SAPO was created on September 4, 1995, at the University of Aveiro by six students in the Center for Informatics of the university.[3] The name originated from the acronym of the service, S.A.P. (Servidor de Apontadores Portugueses), which later evolved into Servidor de Apontadores Portugueses Online, giving rise to the acronym SAPO.[1] Another factor in the name was Sapo Cocas, which is the European Portuguese name of Kermit the Frog.[4]

In 1997, SAPO became the property of the company Navegante and began commercial operation.[1] At some point,[specify] it became part of Altice Portugal.[citation needed]
