Well Bobo, all I know is GNET just took over S.I. the internet's premier financial website.....

Hell I am going long now. Although I am kidding, that now puts Go2Net at 1/2 the traffic of CNet with 1/8 the market cap. Interesting thought. I guess that answers the question on how SI will ever make any money.

Web equation for success = traffic and then conversion to revenue. You know the sad thing is that I have missed some great investment opportunities (AOL and Yahoo) because I have failed to recognize the value of eyeballs. Maybe next paradigm shift. I wonder when this whole thing matures what the actual value per eyeball (or set of eyeballs) will be.
