Several points about GNET in that article. Note that GNET had a business and a product: In addition to creating original content, the company has created several Internet products using the Java programming language. Those programs include go2search, a mega-search engine that queries multiple sources, and go2vision, a software application that allows customized stock quotes and sports scores as well as headline news to run while a user works on other software applications or searches the Web. The company recently was cited as one of the top 100 most popular Web sites by Hot 100. In the past month or so, Go2net became the exclusive licensee to the Metacrawler search engine, which was created by several University of Washington professors and which searches through several popular search engines simultaneously. Since launching earlier this year, Horowitz said the site has received over 80,000 unique users a day, and racked up about 500,000 page views. To complement its content, Go2net is creating Java-based development tools, and has ambitious plans to create innovative applications that will draw and keep users who have access to the latest and greatest technology. For instance, while it has designed a scrolling stock ticker much like other sites, it has added technology that allows a user to get historical information on the fly simply by moving the mouse over a certain point on a graph. And its stock ticker moves from page to page while a user visits the site, unlike many others that stay solely on one page.
