This represents the right of passage of the search engine/portals from an interesting curiosity to a mainstream media outlet IMO.

This is very significant event. People are spending more and more time on internet, and of course less on TV. We all know there is only 24 hours in a day so go figure the importance of internet. Internet is robbing time not only from major networks but countless local TV media radio and news paper. I have not been to library or seen Wall street Journal or Barron past year and half. And have not called my broker ever since started trading on net.

Robert, I Couldn't Agree More About NBC Deal... What I missed in the initial coverage, I found in today's WSJ... " ... NBC had in fact been in serious discussions over the last several months with Yahoo, Excite, and Infoseek Corp. about buying large stakes..." I know this bit must have been in the initial releases... but I scanned right past it. The enormity of the deal, obviously, ISN'T in the fact that SEEK was on their short list... but I was heartened to see the SEEK name nonetheless. That NBC's deal falls so quickly on the heels of one of Harmon's columns about "media companies"... I guess is just another case of a fortunate coincidence. So, shall we expect CBS for dinner... the very same CBS who's been mulling over spinning their MarketWatch out as the next high-flying IPO...? One thing can be said now without hesitation... EVERYBODY IS TALKING TO EVERYBODY ABOUT DEALS ON THE WEB... so... NOBODY should be ruled out... except of course for Zapata, I suppose... Best Regards, SEEKers, c m
