Terra Lycos Says Buys Raging Bull From AltaVista

WALTHAM, Mass. (Reuters) - Terra Lycos (NasdaqNM:TRLY - news) (TRR.MC) said on Tuesday it bought online financial community firm Raging Bull from AltaVista Co. (news - external web site), which is majority-owned by CMGI Inc. (NasdaqNM:CMGI - news), in an all-cash deal aimed at increasing traffic to the Spanish Internet media company's network of sites.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Terra Lycos, created by the merger of Lycos and Spanish telecom giant Telefonica's (TEF.MC) Internet unit Terra last year, said in a statement that Raging Bull will retain its brand within Terra Lycos.

Raging Bull, which provides investors with chatrooms and discussion boards, will be integrated with the Internet media company's other financial sites such as Quote.com and Invertia.com. Raging Bull attracts more than two million unique users each month and generates nearly 200 million page views per month, the company said.

Separately, Terra Lycos also said it has bought Iberwap, a provider of digital mapping services and content on the Web.
