Can you give even one example of substance where excite and @home have helped one another?

If you are going to leverage the use of broadband, you have to do some experimenting and put up web sites that really use it.

We are in the "chicken or the egg" stage - Nobody wants to spend the big bucks making a "broadband experience" available if the audience is not there and the audience does not want to come if the experience is not there.

Because, and only because, Excite is part of ATHM you can do some of this experimenting. The idea is that you can make the selection of resources by the search engine much more of a 3-D experience if you have broadband. A lot of research is being done on this by people like Microsoft. Their conclusion is that it is clearly the future. The first attempts are being done by Excite.

It is just in the experimental stage but here is a crude example of what they are after:
