>>Ask me if I'm happy that I increased my NSI stock by 50% last week. Well go on ask me!!!!! <<

OK Harry, are you happy?! LOL

Not a bad investment at all. This announcement shows that this private company has now put a strong team in place which will bring it to life. As the site gains strength, we will be able to watch its growth and know that when they take Answers.com to an IPO in the Spring, we as NSI shareholders will be defacto pre-IPO Asnwers.com share holders.

Leaving alone the great experience of the new management team for a moment, there are a few excerpts from the announcement which stand out for me . . .

- With the pending re-launch of the site in late November 1999, Answers.com will have a renewed focus of becoming the pre-eminent supplier of 'eRelationship' management tools to companies doing business on the Web. Answers.com's customer service tool suite will allow companies to create a dialogue with their Web visitors and customers. This dialogue can be used to sell and up-sell products, create a product feedback loop, save customer service operating costs, and gain real-time market intelligence.

- Answers.com's initial market is the two million US businesses already on-line - a number expected to double in the next four years. Answers.com will be offering an Internet-based equivalent of call centers for these businesses. This is a huge market. According to the International Data Corporation, the amount of money that businesses around the world spend on running conventional call centers - the activity that Answers.com will be offering on the Net - is already $23 billion and is expected to rise to $56 billion by 2003.?

Harry, don't wear yourself out dancing just yet - cause heck, the party seems like it may just be getting started! <VBG>
