Here's another net stock to watch out for.

WorldGate (WGAT) is reversing a bearish catapult big time today (apparently due to a series of analyst upgrades-probably the underwriters). The company provides a new television-based Internet service, the WorldGate service, enabling cable subscribers to access the Internet through their televisions and automatically link from television programming and advertising spots to associated web sites. The Service is designed to operate using standard advanced analog or digital cable set-top boxes, thereby eliminating the need for a personal computer or any additional set-top appliance. WorldGate Service subscribers enjoy access within seconds to full- featured Internet functionality on their televisions, as well as the ability to dynamically link from television programming to related Web sites through WorldGate's Channel HyperLinking technology.

For the tecnonuts, the service employs ultra thin-client network architecture (patents pending) that facilitates deployment, setup, and central system management, and allows for centrally administered upgrades to the system. This is believed to be superior, I understand, to the "thick-client" architecture to employed in the tv/cable internet service AOL recently announced.

Could be worth watching.
