music, videos, books, good thing all those commodities being sold on the web constitute barriers to entry and differentiable products! Booksellers Make Moves on Video By Lessley Anderson Online video retailer MovieStreet Monday announced it would create a cobranded children's bookselling area with Barnesandnoble.com on its KidFlix.com childrens' video retail site. The area, which will attempt to package related books and videos together, is aimed at parents trying to get their Disney-lovin' tykes hooked on reading. "If a child sees The Lion King video and likes it, he's more likely to read The Lion King book," said Jonathan Kaplan, CEO of MovieStreet. "The association helps children realize that reading can be fun. Then they might read a book on lions, then kings." The Barnesandnoble.com partnership marks the second cobranding deal for MovieStreet – last week KidFlix became the exclusive video retailer on iVillage, for an undisclosed sum. Barnesandnoble.com will be the second major online bookseller to begin peddling flix. Borders.com already offers videos, and Amazon.com will launch its video store in time for Christmas, though the exact date is top secret. From Barnesandnoble.com's standpoint, the KidFlix deal allows the bookseller to test-drive a video retailer partnership prior to soft-launching its own video store, which company spokesman Ben Boyd said was not far away. Early last week Barnesandnoble.com launched a ramped up kids' area similar to those found on Amazon.com and Borders.com, with nonbook items like music and software for sale geared towards children. A video link, Boyd said, is coming soon. thestandard.com

Dwight< At some point insiders will begin dumping all they can, and that will help keep the lid on, and set the stage for the next downdraft with the general market cycle> I agree and if I was an insider I wouldn't sell now especially, with the retail brokers selling Amzn as a Xmas gift. There's a JohnK over at TMF who thinks the 'Thing' won't come under any business model critique until 2nd Qtr 99. Don't do anything until. Up, or especially down.(Imhop of course). Good luck
