The Takeover Saga...
A while back, speculation was that SEEK, the perennial search
engine laggard, was primed for a takeover. Some of that initial
speculation centered around MSFT, I think.
A Forbes article indicated it might be Time Warner. Which
given the resume of SEEK's Motro seemed to make sense... in the
way that these rumor memes have a way of making sense.
More recently, the speculation has become generalized to
include any media or entertainment (see DISNEY and DISNEY's
button on SEEK's site) company, as well as...
* The Paula Corbin Jones Defense Fund--which plays in both
the media and entertainment categories... apparently.
* The All-William (sic) Ginsburg-Network: a 24-hour business
development channel for Monica Lewinsky's attorney.
* The People's Court with the Hon. Ed Koch Presiding
* Microsoft Vapidia: a delusional, but interesting spin-off of Microsoft that
will presumably do everything, be everything, and feel everything
so we won't have to do, be or feel any longer.
* Martha Stewart, because several of her friends' children on
Long Island are bored and need a "little search engine" to play
with, preferably one in the new hot color "Milano Seaspray."
* The inventor of that intermittent wiper thing-y.
Hope this helps...
Best Regards,
