There's a great article about GNET on the Washington CEO network.

waceo.com

A snippet from the article regarding the Wired World:

Bill Savoy of Vulcan Ventures says Go2Net will be used to enhance Allen's $17 billion cable television empire. While the details of Go2Net's involvement haven't been released, Savoy says it will bring the best of the computer to television screens.

This so-called "wired world" might mean that people can e-mail, follow stocks and read the news, all from a panel on their television screen. They might eventually be able to buy clothing being worn by the actors on a given show simply by clicking on the outfits. They might also be able to chat with other people watching the same show and interact with the cast or the show's writers.

Paul Allen's Wired World Portfolio update, 7/9/99:

The portfolio gained 2.14% on Friday. This compares to a gain of 0.77% for the NASDAQ composite.

ASYM was by far the largest percentage gainer on the day, with a rise of 104%.. It rose 4 3/16 to 8 3/16 as traders bid up the stock on "news" that Paul Allen was investing in the company. Too bad for many of these traders that the so-called news was 15 years old.

MCOM finally took a breather, down 9 5/16 to 41 after running up 28 5/16 points in the previous 4 trading days.

Current value of the portfolio is $108,355 or a gain of 8.35% in four trading days.
