Juno up on AOL takeover rumor

NEW YORK, June 25 (Reuters) - Shares in Internet e-mail service provider Juno Online
Services Inc. rose to their best level ever on Friday amid rumors that the company would be
acquired by America Online Inc.

Juno, which offers free basic e-mail service, reached a high of $29.375 before slipping back
to $26.06, up $3.875, in early afternoon trading. The stock made its market debut just last
month at $13 a share.

Juno was among the most active issues on the Nasdaq stock market, with nearly 7 million
shares changing hands. AOL was off $5.125 at $101.625.

Rumors of a deal between AOL and Juno were prominent in Internet chat rooms.

''I've heard the same rumors you've heard'' about the companies, said Ned Collins, head of trading at Daiwa Securities
America.

A spokeswoman for New York-based Juno refused to comment on the rumors.

AOL officials were not immediately available for comment.

PaineWebber analyst James Preissler said a deal ''could make sense for AOL.''

''The two companies are both essentially competing for the same group of new users -- the mass market consumers that are
coming online currently,'' Preissler said in a report. ''Juno, through its free e-mail offering, has a product that captures users
who are not quite ready for the full Web experience and just testing the online waters through use of e-mail.''

He said other companies that could benefit from a combination with Juno included portal Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO -
news), Infoseek Corp. (Nasdaq:SEEK - news) and Snap.com, the joint venture between General Electric Co.'s (NYSE:GE -
news) NBC unit and CNet Inc. (Nasdaq:CNET - news).

BroadVision Moves Up From Number 82 to 70 in New Survey
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 21 /PRNewswire/ -- BroadVision, Inc. (Nasdaq: BVSN - news), the leading worldwide supplier of one-to-one e-business applications for relationship management across the extended enterprise, today announced that they were listed Number 70 in BusinessWeek's ''InfoTech 100'' survey published June 21st. This represents a substantial gain over the company's position as Number 82 in BusinessWeek's inaugural ''InfoTech 100'' survey, published less than eight months ago on November 2, 1998.

BusinessWeek observed in the survey that ''BroadVision is one of the few profitable E-business companies; it makes software that personalized transactions and information.''

Judged on four equal criteria compiled from Standard & Poor financial data -- revenue growth, total revenues, shareholder return on investment and profitability -- BroadVision edged out other Internet companies including Verisign (No. 72), Broadcast.com (No. 75) and Allaire (No. 94). BroadVision continues to stand out as the only Internet applications software company to be included on the list. BroadVision also ranked number 34 in shareholder return and number 51 in revenue growth among the elite 100.
