<<Simply Business "Steve, VerticalNet (NASDAQ:VERT - news) has become the darling of so-called business-to-business Web firms, any thoughts on who wins here?" Reply: Any large Web site has the potential to become a player in B-2-B. But I think smaller vertical-niche players stand a better chance. The Web is about focus, dedication, providing a relevant experience in a world that battles second by second for your eyeballs. Regarding VerticalNet I am fascinated by its straight-forward Web sites yet I want to see more traffic, revenue and user growth before I believe this company is worth more than $2 billion market cap. Its revenue in 1998 was $3 million. To me one of the areas of B-2-B that looks attractive are the enablers, those that let businesses get on the Web and run commerce. That's everything from IBM (NYSE:IBM - news) to Broadvision (NASDAQ:BVSN - news) .>> I would not call this making fun!
