Very impressive. It would be nice to see the accurate numbers by the company. Your analysis is the same conclusion I have. growth is still solid - seasonal patterns apply - third quarter is traditionally weak Most people in business would be coming to the same conclusion, as well. ~Sarkie

Pareto, Pareto, Pareto see I can spell your name...how is that website of yours coming along.....instead of doing something more useful I am still doing my gnet observations for no apparent good reason....and here is but yet another.... hypermart and virtual ave do not have their own search function to find a business listed under their respective web hosting sections but that freeyellow site does....I would imagine with all the search technology they have that all will eventually have search ability....I wonder if they are going to keep all these products separate or combine the best of them into one site... I think they might be better off leaving them separate....people always get mad when you take away somthing that is familar to them even if the new product is better Regardig the comments about SI being better than Raging Bull.....what I was referring to was not the current quality of the posts or current quality of the technology of message boards....but rather the future. Sure SI has better and more community right now but that could change...Raging Bull message board technology is not SI but it will get there. Raging bull has lots of bucks ...its recent tie in to Thompson investors should be a wake up call to SI . SI should try to grow through similar tie ins and not just rely on word of mouth and I would imagine they are working on these things. I was thinking that almost all sites like to have a message board so a great way for SI/GNET to advertise would be to offer their technology to sites in exchange for a SI/go2net logo or tie in at their sites. Right now most sites either have no message board or have terrible message boards so they would be very receptive to this idea. I thought they should do that now before others do it which I think is already happpening.

Pareto, Pareto, Pareto (just practicing the spelling)...I think you are the google fan...look the new and improved metacrawler uses it...I believe that is new. MetaCrawler utilizes the following search engines: About.com \| AltaVista \| DirectHit \| Excite \| Google \| GoTo.com \| Infoseek LookSmart \| Lycos \| Thunderstone \| Webcrawler I think the smartest new thing in the new metacrawler is linking shopping to search ......and its better....boy that could get webmarket a zillion more hits....they should forget the beta and get that on the home page for the holidays..it works fine.

Posts on SI in 1999 up 35%, slow down in fourth quarter 1997-I 497.000 1997-II 587.000 1997-III 634.000 1997-IV 748.000 1998-I 842.000 1998-II 1.156.000 1998-III 813.000 1998-IV 1.177.000 1999-I 1.585.000 1999-II 1.699.000 1999-III 1.075.000 1999-IV 1.014.000 1997 2.466.000 1998 3.988.000 + 62% 1999 5.372.000 + 35% I'm optimistic over the future of GNET, but it will not come for free. Competition is heating up. Success to all of the Gnet staff, getting 200 new colleagues in the next months and moving into the Pier 70 building. (can somebody update the GNET profile, it says 69 employees, that should be closer to 400, including the acquisitions of '99) Regards, Pareto
