Subj: Fool On Yahoo!
Date: 1/8/97 5:51:40 PM
From: MF Fletch

Hello,

As some of you have pointed out, the Fool popped up on Yahoo! this morning. I just wanted to clarify the nature and extent of the deal. We will be syndicating several selected articles -- the Lunchtime News, Evening News, and any FoolWires or Special Sections and Industry Reports we put together. This is in no way a substitute for the Fool site on AOL or our website at fool.com. Our goal is to aggressively reach out and put the Fool in front of the people most likely to use it -- not wait and hope for people to find us through random searches or word of mouth. Recently, we signed similar content distribution deals with USA Today Online and Quicken.

Our goal as a company is to serve as many investors as we can, wherever they are. Our flagship site on AOL will remain just that. In fact, far from flying away, we're simply spreading our wings and building our brand as efficiently as we can, with an eye toward building audience and participation. We certainly plan to constantly build and improve things here on AOL, and wherever else people are likely to stumble across us. :)

Foolishly,

Erik Rydholm

Seems like they are going for premium services to me.
Makes sense they already do on AOL.
Good Luck
