stock swap....both owned by cmgi so by combining the two they jump in media matrix...next thing you know they will have web hosting.....wonder where they are getting this business model? I bought cmgi awhile back since they have interests in so many internets and in a small part because I liked the free isp model and it had raging bull which got a big boost after it tied in with Thompson investors.....I am sure GNET is going to do fine but its got its work cut out for it....the competition is definitely heating up! My local paper listed webmarket as one of seven comparative shopping menus worth trying on the web.....being in the top seven isn't bad...I haven't really tried any of them out and compared them to the GNET product......Now that GNET has 260 employees instead of 65 I am sure they are busy "catching up" and hopefully making their comparative shopping site equal to and hopefully eventually better than others ...I think we have to remember that the other players like the Y site had a several year lead over GNET so it is not unexpected that they might have a better product...GNET's value is that it is catching up and the upside for a stock like GNET seems to me so much greater than a relatively more muture stock like Yahoo....the old principle holds here....want a save investment... stick to the really big names...want to take a chance at making a killing then go with an up and comer like GNET.
