Good evening CM...I just read an interesting article on MSNBC entitled "Web Sites Seek New Revenue Sources" at msnbc.com ..... In the article it states IVillage about to announce a multi-year, 7 figure e-commerce deal...This should help out SEEK's bottom line... While SEEK was never mentioned by name, but then LCOS wasn't either, you can see SEEK is busy doing the things this article says are necessary for building long-lasting revenue..The article says pure advertising plays by "portals" not enough to generate lasting revenue..Joint ventures, web chat, e-mail and other additions are more likely to keep eyeballs coming back, thus luring advertising dollars..Revenue sharing deals also mentioned as part of the strategy for success.... In the whole article I saw SEEK taking care of business (reading between the lines, so to speak). Regards, George P.S. Can hardly wait for the IVillage announcement

cm, First off, thanks for your 3-minute vigil and hunger strike on the front steps of Dell HQ in order to harass them into putting their banner back on the front page <g>. Obviously, it worked. Well, here's something slightly off-topic, but could be related to SEEK in a subtle way. The main story in today's business section of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is about the upcoming and ongoing battle between Ted Turner's Cartoon Network (thus, the Atlanta connection) vs. The Disney Channel/DisneyToons vs. Nickelodeon. The interesting part to me is how this could relate to Infoseek and Harry Motro's past relationship with CNN/TT/TimeWarner. If you're Harry and you're trying to strike deals with TW and/or Disney, that's got to be a tough road to navigate between your previous employer and the company who has been on your front page for the past few months. Oh, what a tangled web we weave <g>. Just some food for thought on a slow Sunday night as the rumor mills start picking up steam as SEEK rises again. Happy SEEKing... -tk
