Still looking for the Abelson article, but here is a little tidbit about Colony of Forrester Research: When it comes to electronic commerce, Colony sees great promise: Forrester predicts the networked economy will produce $350 billion in revenues in the year 2000, up from $100 million now. (Close to half of the current total, he says, represents infrastructure spending.) At the same time, he sees danger for companies that focus only on selling over the Web, while ignoring the more traditional ways of peddling goods-through catalogues, stores and over the phone. "The smart companies will blend channels," he says. "Dell has effectively blended the Web with their success in direct marketing over the phone. There's a pretty good chance that in 2005 the biggest bank on the Internet will be Citibank. Eventually, Barnes & Noble will catch and bury Amazon.com." In fact, within two years, Colony predicts, Amazon will be building brick-and-mortar stores.
