Scarecrow, I understand the difference between Staples and CMGI, but is it really necessary to check every division/separate company CMGI operates, or has a stake in, to determine if building its brand awareness will benefit B2C sales, website traffic, advertising impressions, B2B commerce which is run by people in those businesses, etc. I am not saying that this is the answer, or the greatest deal in history, but I believe brand awareness builds feelings of trust, consumer awareness, stability, etc. that ultimately can drive sales or people to use Alta Vista, or people to use the iCAST, businesses to use UBID, or people to sign up for Boatscape, or businesses to consider utilizing Ventro, etc. Or influence people to want to work for a name-brand company such as CMGI. Also, we don't what other revenue streams that CMGI will add/build in the future. Brand building can help those efforts also. And yes I agree, this can help get the word out about the stock. Lastly, maybe this brand-building effort will get the word out about CMGI's subsidiaries as well. We haven't seen the finished products yet. As I said first things this morning, I think its quite a coup to be chosen over: Fleetboston, Nokia, and Monster.com for this deal.

I see a major problem with this deal....the patriots suck. No offensive line to protect bledsoe, dismal running game, and a long history of making things miserable for their passionate, dedicated, mostly inebriated fans. Will the stock price suffer every monday after a home game?

Hi, This may be slightly OT, but I really can't think of a better place to bring it up. I picked another "rumor". Has anyone else heard anything about AFL-CIO's attempted incursions into ISP's? Something about "six job classes identified which can we can organize"? & "(____)(____)be meeting with key disgruntled workers at four (___)(____)(____)". (____) - are words I simply couldn't over-hear. I'll ask it a couple of other places also, but this is a rumor we need dig into a bit more... Everyone else, put your ears on & see if there is anything to it! This may be BIGGER than what I brought this thread the last time I was here. (note - I currently have no interest - short or long - in any ISP or incubator) richard
