Maybe I Can Wear The Noose Necktie For A Moment... There are things about SEEK that have not set well with me this year. But, in the bump-and-grind that hit us around mid April, and especially after (mostly grind), I wasn't in any mood to confess to doubts. That's the problem with polarized positions... and ONE of the problems of the Yahoo! SEEK thread. The middle ground gets completely lost. It's the first casualty of "war." As to Harry working SEEK with a specific agenda in mind, damn, I hope so. ( This quiet time is nothing new... as you will painfully recall... we languished in the 9's, the 18's, etc. ) One thing that DOES trouble me is the lack of follow-up OF ANY SORT about the Deutsche Telekom Memorandum of Understanding. I mean, you might think that Harry or Barak or Kirsch might let loose some hints in an interview somewhere... maybe even in German... but no. What I wonder about, too, is the much-anticipated revamping of their Personal Finance channel. I wonder if they can--or would--boot MS Investor content and strike up a deal with CBS MarketWatch plus some sort of home-grown message-board infrastructure. Incidentally, as noted in an earlier post, their NewsReal spin-off (they hold a minority interest in it) is now live at www.news-real.com. And, beyond its CNNfn deal, NewsReal will also be incorporated in Netopia's Virtual Office section on the upcoming NetCenter. Ahhh, the Web makes for mighty strange bedfellows. (BTW, my "$4" reference wasn't aimed at you... until you pointed it out, I hadn't even noticed that reference in your post. I just picked that number 'cause (I think) it's SEEK's historic low.) In closing, I like the relaxed nature of the room right now. It'll change for sure. More whooping and weeping, bleeding and bludgeoning ahead. But, not tonight, not now. Glad you've bookmarked us, again. Best Regards, Augie c m
