I am still trying to figure out why Amazon bought Planetal.com for $300 million two years ago. Does anyone know? "June 30, 2000 eturn.com, inc. Announces Rescue Plan for PlanetAll Users Stranded by Amazon.com SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 2000-- Sunnyvale-headquartered eturn.com, inc. (www.eturn.com) announced today a rescue plan to preserve the private address books of the 600,000+ PlanetAll members stranded by Amazon.com's decision to "cease operations" of PlanetAll. According to Amazon.com, they plan to terminate the PlanetAll address book service over the fourth of July weekend. As announced on the PlanetAll web site (www.planetall.com), "PlanetAll will permanently cease operations as of July 2, 2000...you can view your entire address book until July 2." "We want to invite PlanetAll's users to come to our website at www.eturn.com," said eturn's vice president of marketing and business development, Pat Reilly. "At our website, PlanetAll members can sign up and continue to enjoy the benefits of a personal, always up-to-date address book by easily uploading their address books onto our free and secure Web-based service." Continued Pat Reilly, "eturn differentiates itself from free internet community services such as PlanetAll, in that our business model is based on deriving revenue from providing additional anytime, anywhere up-to-date address book services through phones, PDAs or other mobile devices. For example, our recent partnership with VoltDelta will provide operator assisted access to one's private address book. We see our service as a convergence of the best capabilities of the Internet with the pervasiveness of the telco infrastructure." PlanetAll members can join eturn at www.eturn.com or direct any questions to eturn's customer support through a special email address: rescue@eturn.com. About eturn.com eturn.com, inc.
