Yes, it is huge. Yahoo finance is a great site and that's the only Yahoo section I use on a regular basis. If you haven't yet, check out Quicken's site. It's pretty good functionality and I'm seeing more people email content from there. I've also seen some sites license their feed. Yahoo will have to put in a lot more into R&D going forward. What do you think of AMZN? Are you still in? It seems like they're going to have to fight some deep pockets going forward. More and more I'm beginning to doubt the advantage of early starters on the net. Once big business gets in and they learn how to do it right, e-commerce would be big but not much different than in the real world. Neither the networks nor the big retailers are exactly making a killing. Thougths?
