What do you call a company whose MARKET SHARE CRASHED 28%...

o from 60% last November
o to less than 43% today***

Hint:

o if it doubles on the offering the market cap will exceed $1 billion,
o only in the March quarter did the company figure out how to eke out a positive gross margin, of only 28%. And in the June quarter revenue SURGED to $3.3 million

Answer: GeoCities!

P.S. Is there anything GeoCities can do that its direct and indirect competitors cannot do? I don't think so. Plus, GeoCities has opted out for boring, boring, boring graphics.

Why not go to AOL or to amazon.com for a more visually appealing experience. Who needs boring lack of graphics?

In other words, there is NO reason to believe the downward slide in market share will not continue.
