look what xoom did today:from the Motley fool: While the Fool spent the day trying to figure out why Xoom.com (XMCM: Nasdaq) didn't pick up "XOOM" as its stock ticker, the Internet IPO du jour, uh, xoomed into the stratosphere in its first day of trading. Xoom closed at $34 7/16, 145.98% above the 4 million share offering's $14 initial price. An online services provider and direct marketer -- free email, web pages, and chat rooms -- Xoom, which hits members with advertisements, can expect competition from recent IPO theglobe.com (Nasdaq: TGLO) and GeoCities (Nasdaq: GCTY), among others. For some perspective on Internet offerings from one Fool's point of view, check out this column. Meanwhile, shares of marketing software developer Exchange Applications (Nasdaq: EXAP) grabbed $4 3/16 to $15 3/16 on its maiden voyage. Its 3 million-share IPO priced yesterday at $11 a share.
