It is not enough to have the best technology SI should expand to other topics like travel, cooking and whatever. Or Go2Net could buy sites that have already a lot of public. topica.com is a thread based website with all kind of topics. Would be a good combination with SI. E.g. here is a thread on the failures of e-commerce sites: topica.com Another site which is getting better is egroups.com Just the numbers (from pcdataonline.com ): monthly users per month per site: www.siliconinvestor.com Sep 1999 - 216.000 Dec 1999 - 111.000 May 2000 - 247.000 www.egroups.com Sep 1999 - 1.544.000 Dec 1999 - 1.722.000 May 2000 - 3.808.000 www.topica.com Sep 1999 - 151.000 Dec 1999 - 230.000 May 2000 - 578.000 SI has the best technology. But technology on the net is a commodity. They should scale it. And fast. Opportunities pass by and fade out. This quarter SI will get about 660.000 new posts. Last years quarter was 1.700.000. Reason to worry. (another interesting site is cluetrain.com Regards, Pareto
