Charlie I find this table and it's analysis interesting.... fnews.yahoo.com Just a few months ago (March 25) in WEBDEX the average value per user sat at about $57. The average now is at $121. As the most valued Web site per user in the top 10 at $283 per user, let's spend a little time on Yahoo's second quarter results The question that comes to my mind...on average value per user...is this. How much is a customer worth who pays you ~ $5 a month or ~ $60 a year, and you have 2.4 Million of them? 1 x sales or 144M 2 x sales or 288M 3 x sales or 432M 4 x sales or 576M 5 x sales or 720M I'm just wondering, just in case we ever become an internet stock... As yahoo's revenue per user seems to be less then $1 a month.

Off Topic - Mellon Gripes: Feel free to skip this. Man, Mellon ticks me off. I recently changed my credit card over to them ONLY because they offered online access to statements over your dial-up access to the Internet into Quicken 98. The offer appears both on their web site and as an "internal" web page in Quicken, which is probably served from quicken.com. I shredded 16 other credit card offers that were otherwise exactly the same: same teaser APR, same index-plus-points, EVERYTHING was just the same except Mellon boasts online access. Except it's just not available. I find this out only after the balance transfer and first invoice. I'm really upset with these guys. Quicken 98 has been out how long now? A year and a quarter? They've had months to either update their website so that it tells the truth, and make similar changes to the quicken.com site. Either that or just implement the damn product. Doesn't exactly inspire good feelings toward my new creditors. Jerks. I am done venting. We now return you to your regularly scheduled tuna fishing trip.
