You are right. As more and more computers get connected to the internet, the competition for search engines are shaping up. It will be very interesting to see how all this will play out.

irby, It appears to me that everyone is looking at internet advertising the same as they would TV advertising. I see it much more like newspaper adds. Just check out the size of them. When I read a newspaper I find it very easy to ignore the adds, and I think the advertisers know this. As a consequence no advertiser will pay very much for a 3/4"by 1 1/2" add in a paper. Geesh, I've seen fancier adds on S.I. on the BK thread then YHOO. I hadn't even noticed any adds until these stocks went crazy and then I looked. Once the advertisers realize that they are not advertising to a captive audience , I think they will scale back the price that they are willing to pay for these slots. Dome Pete , Investors Overseas, Caroline Mines, Dozens of these kinds of things I've seen before . They are all worth zero now, as I suspect yahoo will be one day.. russell
