ISleuth shopping engine mentioned in Magazine The new issue of The Industry Standard - The News Magazine of the Internet Economy Jan 11-18/99 print issue An excellent article on Internet shopping bots/services mentions IQuest. Cheap, Cheaper, Cheapest By Michelle V. Rafter While popular with shoppers and small-time merchants, some retailers consider bots a menace. thestandard.com Excerpt from article: With the growing popularity of online shopping, other vendors are beginning to market price-comparison technology to independent shopping sites and merchants. Inktomi, the search and caching technology vendor, will soon launch a private-label comparison bot called Shopping Engine. Merchants can use the technology to help shoppers search product categories, by price or brand name. Inktomi has already licensed similar technology to shopping sites W3Networks and iSleuth. Meanwhile, another vendor, Active Buyers' Guide, licenses its search technology to PC Photo Forum, Imagine Resources and Hyperzine. Shop 'Til You Drop Merchants may disagree over their usefulness, but that hasn't stopped price-comparison shopping sites from proliferating. Here's a sampling of what's out there. thestandard.com

[Off Topic] This rule permits only those companies that report their current financial information to the SEC, banking, or insurance regulators to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board®. I think this requirement is an excellent. It should inhibit many of the scam companies (who typically don't report) from conning trusting investors into investing. Trading of these companies will be relegated to the pink sheets. Who will phone their broker to buy & sell companies listed on pink sheets? Furthermore, the remaining investor buying power will be refocused onto the companies that do report. That should be good for us longs. The rule will be phased in over a 12 month period beginning in July 1999 and continuing through June 2000 in alphabetical increments based upon the company's name as of January 4, 1999. So Athena Hole Filling Corp could receive a 12-month reprieve by changing its name to Zeus-Athena Hole Filling Corp? - Fred
