A few of the terrific quotes made by Russell today!
Heh Joe, so you were just walking up at 7:01 PM?
How the heck can I get a job like that? LOL
Yawn. . .I think I'll go to bed now (and celebrate)! ;)
Pleasant dreams to all GNET "longs."
The following comments from Russ were in a article today from prnewswire.com (no direct link, but go to "search" and type in Go2Net for an excellent and very comprehensive story on GNET):
"During the recently completed quarter, Go2Net continued to make significant progress, both operationally and strategically," said Russell C. Horowitz, Go2Net's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Go2Net's strong financial results continue to reflect the substantial operating leverage inherent in our business model. We again experienced strong growth in our three categories of focus: consumer services, business services, and enabling services.
On the consumer services front, our destination sites such as MetaCrawler and Silicon Investor showed significant growth in usage during the quarter. In business services, the HyperMart Network has grown to be one of the largest communities of small businesses on the Web. In terms of enabling services, we added more than 12,400 merchants to our Authorize.Net transaction platform during the quarter, bringing the total to more than 58,000 merchants. We also made tremendous progress in expanding our technology licensing and customized portal offerings to strategic partners like Hasbro, Allegiance Telecom, and Broadband Partners.
"Go2Net's ongoing objective is to outperform in this industry. Our first-mover advantage in broadband portal services and small business services positions us to do just that in 2000 and beyond," Horowitz added. "We will continue to grow the company to execute against the many business opportunities we have and remain aggressive in our strategic activity. We will also become more aggressive in our marketing and branding efforts, both on a company-wide basis and within our specific categories of focus." |
