update Microsoft, Dell Computer, Lycos, Excite@Home, and other leading high-tech companies will join together in a group of almost 100 Web sites offering a combined auction service intended to tackle market-leading eBay.
The companies will share auction listings so that an item listed on one site can be found throughout the network, according to people familiar with the plans. As previously reported, the auction network is to be announced today.
Doesn't look good for TMRT. The best they could hope to do would be to join this group, but then who's going to list an item on TMRT when they can do it for free with some of these big names and let it be seen by all.
Oh wait, silly me, TMRTE doesn't have a web site, so they can't join in the fun. Well if they ever did get a web site up, the competition has raised the bar.

PS,
Can't wait for the spin that gets put on this, LOL. |
