I received this today and wondered if it has a similar feel as WKWG.
Is this coincidence or does a lot of internet startups come out of Vancouver

IGN Unveils World Watch Online City Guides
Vancouver, BC, January 29, 1999 - IGN Internet Global Network Inc.
(NASD OTC BB - IGNIF; VSE - IGN) is pleased to announce that its
news and entertainment division, IGN Broadcast
( ignbroadcast.com ), has gone live with its online city guide
web-site, World Watch.
WorldWatch provides "the ultimate link to the world" by offering
residents, business travelers and tourists complete, up-to-date
and relevant information about major cities around the world.
IGN's WorldWatch employs local researchers and writers who are
familiar with the cities being covered. This allows for the
creation of current local content, including up-to-the-moment
news, weather and sports. Dynamic content is an important
addition to the online city directories - users will want to
return to the site again and again for the newest and most
exciting information.
Mr. Raj Chowdhry, President of IGN, stated, "I am excited about
our new online city guide which features a vast array of
information on an initial list of 27 of the world's largest
cities. We believe that our database of city-specific
information is superior to the content offered by competing
sites."
Other companies offering city-specific information on the Internet
include Ticketmaster City Search (NASDAQ: TMCS); Digital City,
Inc., a joint-venture between America Online, Inc. (NYSE: AOL) and
Tribune Company (NYSE: TRB); Microsoft Corporation's
(NASDAQ: MSFT) Sidewalk.com; Excite, Inc.'s (NASDAQ: XCIT)
City.Net; Lycos, Inc.'s (NASDAQ: LCOS) City Guide; and
Yahoo! Inc.'s (NASDAQ: YHOO) Yahoo! Local.
WorldWatch presents city-specific information in categories such
as City Guides, Hotels & Lodging, Restaurants & Clubs, Shopping,
Financial, Sports, Movies & Live Entertainment, News & Media,
Things to See & Do, Real Estate, Education & Employment.
WorldWatch's initial list of 27 International cities include New
York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Las
Vegas, Washington, DC, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Geneva, Rome,
Berlin, Munich, Zurich, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Singapore,
Hong Kong, Tokyo, Beijing, Johannesburg, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico
City and Sydney.
Mr. Chowdhry continued, "Our initial database of cities will
expand over time, and will eventually include many more of the
large and medium-sized cities around the world. We intend to
solidify our reputation as the most trusted source of current
and detailed local information available on the Internet."
The potential of the Internet continues to increase each week.
With only 25% of US households having access to the Internet,
this figure is expected to increase to 55% in four more years
(Jupiter Communications). Forrester Research recently estimated
that worldwide Internet commerce could reach as high as US $3.2
trillion in 2003. |
