Anyone wanting to see a demonstration of the type of content that
GO.com will be able to deliver should check out the "Enhanced TV"
demo during Monday night's Fiesta Bowl. Here's the URL:

etv.go.com

And a description of what's being offered:

-----------------------
Welcome to the Enhanced Television application, a new and exciting way to enjoy this year's Bowl Championship Series Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

Enhanced TV gives you:

PrimeTime Playerâ„¢: An interactive game that allows you to pick which offensive player will end up with the ball. Real Live data fed from the game with a live ONLINE REF keeps this game synchronized with the ABC's Bowl Championship Series Tostitos Fiesta Bowl game. Points are awarded for yards gained, first downs, and touchdowns. Soon we will add a LeaderBoard and prizes so you can compete against other online players.

The Push Channel: A live online synchronized webcast of ABC's Bowl Championship Series Tostitos Fiesta Bowl which automatically changes during the television broadcast and includes the option to interact with a database of statistical game and player facts as well as links to ESPN.com and ABCCFB.GO.COM.

The Kiosk: Your home for quotes from players, coaches and announcers as well as banners linked to sites around the web.

Stats Links: You can scroll through a LIVE database direct from tonight's production Mobile Units at the game.

Player Cards: You can scroll through every individual player card for that night's game, career stats, bio, individual game stats, etc.

ESPN Sports Ticker: Is always running on the bottom of the application to keep you informed of up to the minute Sports News from around the world.

-------------------------------------------------
I think it will be GO's ability to tie directly into Disney programming content that will set it apart from the other portals in 1999.
