Regarding Susan's comments: A few other little blurbs from the first article were sort of interesting: The aggressive Jain, long perceived as a one-man band at InfoSpace, has had time to adjust to relinquishing some of his control to Sarin, something he'll likely need to do more once Horowitz, Keister and other Go2Netters come on board. While Jain is a fidgety, restless persona, prone to histrionics and relentless promotion, the diplomatic Sarin seems to have injected a dose of calm that could help temper clashing egos and cultures. It remains to be seen how easily the two companies' cultures will mesh. Jain and Horowitz as individuals are quite different in many ways. Jain has worked at a string of tech companies, while Horowitz is an investment banker by background. Jain leans forward throughout an interview; Horowitz sits back in his chair. Jain claims to have no hobbies; Horowitz is an avid soccer player. But don't they always say, "opposites attract." It will interesting to see how this all plays out...this "merging" of companies and "cultures." And perhaps someday, if Jain completely burns himself out, are old friend Russ just might end up as the CEO and/or Chairman of the "new" INSP. Stranger things have happened. One thing I haven't heard mentioned yet is what position will John Keister (GNET's co-founder) have in the new company. I for one, hope he ends up joining Russ and Bill Savoy (Uncle Paul's "main man") on the new INSP BOD. Roger
