Giota...........and Netscape has finally gotten Steve Harmens message ..and that is to develop Commerce derived from the Eyeballs hitting their #2 site, netscape.com. They've re-engineered it if you will into a useful...at least navigatible site. We had talked before here about netscape.com...so what if it was getting the hits.......there wasn't nothing there to look at....boring.. Now at least they are on a development route...building that into 'cyber-state'....aka virtural real estate for e-Commerce. And they certianly have the Location factor working in their favor on that one. Kal......they're duplicating. AOL, begets XCIT, who begets SEEK, who begets NSCP. They are duplicating the 'e-zone'. Get them eyeballs...then go for the wallet! That's worth a Billion minimum. Those of you who follow me in this line of thinking, let's just watch and see if they can do it.

Giota this is the avenue.......I see with great untapped potential. The use of the portal, 'onramp', to e-commerce. Netscape currently draws in 10s of Million of $$ each year by contracting with the Search Engines......to point 'eyeballs' their way, 'a pipe'. However up until now...they have not sought to take their 'piece of the click' from their own sites' traffic on a broad basis as relating to e-Commerce. webweek.com Like he ends the article.....this will be an interesting year. IMO Netscape is redefining itself in more than one way, and in a way that I like.
