Janice have you followed XCIT at all from across the Ocean? If you didn't SEEK has taken the same path to profits.....IMO.... they are playing follow the leader here.......Duplication....very powerful....what was successful for XCIT could also duplicate here in SEEK land. Advertisers pay one fee for shooting with their eyes closed.....meaning they pay a smaller fee per view on a page....if they pop up anywhere. But if....thru Channels...you know where the NET user is....Travel Channel for example...they'll pay a higher fee pre view to get "target marketed" vs. being shotgunned. Something XCIT learned from AOL (Channels)... And to the other person who made the comment about AOL leaving the XCIT board.....it was because of conflict of interest.....AOL told Excite so much about this CHANNEL thing that Excite became an actual competitor of AOL....and as a result......he had to sit out of many board discussions due to a conflict of interest......because Excite is now in competition with AOL. As far as selling shares 240,000+ - .....no biggie.....
