From briefing.com:

08:59 ET Excite Inc (XCIT) 60 3/16: Marine protein and food services company, Zapata Corp (ZAP 11 3/8), makes unsolicited bid to acquire Internet search concern. Proposes merger at $72 per share. Says seeks approval of XCIT board and will only proceed if on friendly terms. XCIT currently halted. Forgot to mention, the proposed deal would be all stock. On a market-cap basis, XCIT is 5 times larger than ZAP.
=======

May be amazon.com as well will find some profitable company with 5 times lower market cap to merge with?

Of course, that could never happen to
an internet stock....no way.<<

Oh yeh, i seen it happen to CYCH. look at that scary chart. But it is to early yet to say what will happen with Amzn. I'm bet ten management is going to pull this off in a big way as long as the growth in the internet and e\commerce remains in tack and management does not screw up, we'll see this stock move in the right direction, long-term.
