From a street.com interview:

Ian McDonald: What are some companies that have been really sold off very harshly that you think kind of deserve to stay down and shouldn't come back? Companies that really have some fundamental flaws you'd want to stay away from?

Steve Harmon: I think VerticalNet (VERT:Nasdaq - news - boards) is one of 'em. They're trying to build trading communities. The trouble with that idea is that most companies don't really like their engineers to be hanging out on Web sites. I don't understand the premise. If you want to be about trading communities, you've got to be in the software business, enable companies to link up with their suppliers and vendors. That to me is the way to do it, not to build Web sites based on content.

No position in this myself. Just FYI

Regards

Neil
