What do you think the chances are for a run with CTCH: QP ending, Vulcan Ventures $, plus great client list? I can't find the link, but here's an "old" press release: GO2NET AND VULCAN VENTURES INC. TO INVEST $20 MILLION IN COMMTOUCH SOFTWARE LTD. REACH COMPREHENSIVE DISTRIBUTION, MARKETING AGREEMENT WITH LEADING GLOBAL PROVIDER OF EMAIL SERVICES Seattle, WA and Santa Clara, CA (July 7, 1999) Go2Net, Inc. (Nasdaq: GNET), a network of branded, technology- and community-driven Web sites, Vulcan Ventures Inc., and CommTouch Software, Ltd. today announced that Go2Net and Vulcan Ventures intend, subject to certain conditions, to invest a total of $20 million cash in CommTouch Software, Ltd., a global provider of partner-branded, Web-based email services. Go2Net and CommTouch also intend to enter into a business arrangement under which CommTouch will develop enhanced email and related services for the Go2Net Network. The transactions are contingent upon the closing of CommTouch's initial public offering. As part of the business arrangement, CommTouch will develop enhanced email and related services for the Go2Net Network and will extend these services to other key organizations with which Go2Net has formed or will form strategic relationships. Go2Net also intends to offer a private label version of CommTouch's ZapZone product to members of its rapidly growing HyperMart (http://www.hypermart.net) and Virtual Avenue (http://www.virtualave.net) business hosting services, which together host more than 375,000 member businesses. ZapZone is a proprietary solution enabling any Web site or personal homepage to offer personalized, free email accounts to its users. More than 15,000 new sites register each month to offer ZapZone email for their users, while HyperMart and Virtual Avenue attract a total of more than 1,000 new member businesses per day. In connection with its investment in CommTouch, Go2Net will receive one seat on CommTouch's Board of Directors as soon as permitted by applicable law. Additional financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. "Go2Net's investment and strategic relationship with CommTouch brings key email, calendaring and other services to The Go2Net Network, as well as to our existing and future strategic partners. It also represents a compelling opportunity to directly participate in the growth of a company which has solid management, exceptional products and highly scalable technologies, all of which are very well-positioned, nationally and globally, for leadership in one of the Internet's most popular categories," said Russell C. Horowitz, Go2Net Chief Executive Officer. "We're looking forward to working with CommTouch as they expand the scope and breadth of their services." "There are clearly powerful synergies among Go2Net, Vulcan Ventures and CommTouch, and we're anxious to not only execute on the immediate opportunities ahead, but to explore and evaluate longer-term areas of promise in our sector," said Gideon Mantel, CommTouch Chief Executive Officer.
