from The New York Times: ...on GNET.. In Seattle, John Keister, the president and co-founder of Go2Net, a network of Web sites, said he thought last week's sell-off would be "very healthy for the Internet industry."

Go2Net was hardly unscathed in the Nasdaq's tumble. Its shares plunged from $97 on March 27 to $47.875 on Friday, erasing more than $1.6 billion from its market valuation. But Keister said he believed his company would be able to handle a coming shakeout among Web sites, because unlike many young Internet companies, Go2Net is actually profitable on an operating basis. And Monday its stock bounced back to $55.25.

"A year ago, people were saying to us, 'Why did you turn a profit so early, why aren't you spending money like it's going out of style?"' Keister said. "But I think it's important to have a strong business model."

Keister was less optimistic about the future of his money-losing competitors. "Not everyone should be a winner here," he said. "A lot of companies were, and still are, overvalued."
