<My first reaction was that if this is worth that much of a pop in AMZN's market cap then GNET could trade up as well. Perhaps Hypermart
is under-appreciated by investors.>

I think it's more of a technical, sector-rotation thing, rather than a real reflection of fundamental news.

amzn is the last of the inet generals to pop. My expectation is that second-tier leaders like gnet will be next after the coast is clear come 10/5. We shall see!

My reaction to the Amazon news is the same thing I have been harping about for quite awhile. Branding, Branding, BRANDING.

HyperMart HAS been here for awhile, HyperMart has been established, the world just needs to know about. Bezos is on CNBC today pushing his site, instead of everyone thinking this is a new concept and a fantastic new ecommerce type of business, they should have been compared to HyperMart and made to look like they are just copying a business where Go2Net is the established leader.

We may be #9 in the MediaMetrix ratings, but that is also the Go2Net network, which includes Go2Net, SI, HyperMart and all other Go2Net sites. If I were not an SI member and a GNET shareholder, I highly doubt I would know anything about HyperMart, but today Bezos told me all about his new ecommerce site.

Branding BRANDING BRANDING!!!!!
