I think it's dead because we do not have the same affection for INSP as we did for GNET. And I miss the GNET characters. Are they still here? Did INSP let any go? Can we trust INSP? (Big question mark)

HO-MEE, to borrow from Mark Twain, the rumor of my death is premature. I have been away for a week. Moreover, Beautiful Rudi will not return my brain and I have become finger-tied at the keyboard...Hopefully, the 3Q report and conference call will restore fair weather this evening. Sy

Shares of all four companies are bucking the trend in Wednesday's market action, with Amazon.com (AMZN: news, msgs) sprinting ahead, up 14 percent to $34, after the online retailer bested analysts' revenue and bottom-line projections. See full story. AOL (AOL: news, msgs) rose $1.20 to $49.23. Barry Schuler, president of AOL interactive services group, is the afternoon keynote at Internet World. Schuler is expected to give a preview of 6.0, AOL's latest software version that it's launching Wednesday. The new software includes a new music player as a platform for its music service. Yahoo (YHOO: news, msgs) gained $1.38 to $60.03. EBay (EBAY: news, msgs) added $2.06 to $56. As for the overall Net sector, the Goldman Sachs Internet Index edged up 0.8 percent; Merrill Lynch Internet Holdrs rose 3 percent. The Amex Internet Index fell 0.7 percent. Base hits, strikes CNet (CNET: news, msgs) more than doubled its online advertising revenue from the previous quarter and the company topped earnings estimates by 4 cents a share. Shares of CNet jumped $4.25, or 16 percent, to $29.81. See full story. ExciteAtHome (ATHM: news, msgs) added 38 cents, or 4 percent, to $10.50. After the close Tuesday, the high-speed Net access and portal company reported a loss of 10 cents a share, wider than last year's penny loss, but in line with analysts' expectations. Quarterly revenue grew 51 percent to $169.9 million. I-consultant Razorfish (RAZF: news, msgs) shares crumbled 11 percent to $4.75 after the company reported third-quarter pro forma net income of $900,000, or 1 cent a share, down from 5 cents in the same period a year ago, and a penny shy of estimates.

CS First Boston analyst Todd Raker expects InfoSpace to post a loss of a penny a share on revenue of $53.5 million. These results include Go2Net, which was acquired by InfoSpace. VeriSign (VRSN: news, msgs) gave up $2.63 to $165.69, after declining $8.31 on Tuesday. The Internet security company is set to report third-quarter results after the close Wednesday.
