I hope everyone realizes that these new ventures have little to do with cigars and a lot to do with e-commerce. Excerpt:A sales commission will be earned by International Industries every time a person goes from stogies-online.com or stogiesonline.com to any of the new affiliates and places an order. End excerpt. If someone goes to the stogie site and clicks on the link to one of the affiliates and buys something (anything not just stogies), ININ gets a commission. Sort of like an on-line salesman. ININ is doing exactly what some of these new Internet companies are trying to do, capitalize on the e-commerce generated from the web. Check this link for an insight to current and projected ecommerce growth - itaa.org . Notice the words exponential growth . _________________ Excerpt from Nov 12 release: The company feels that with the recent success of other e-commerce sites such as Egghead Software (Nasdaq:EGGS - news), Zapata Corp. (NYSE:ZAP - news), K-Tel (Nasdaq:KTEL - news), Audio Book Club Inc. (AMEX:KLB - news), Amazon.Com Inc. (Nasdaq:AMZN - news) and eBay Inc. (Nasdaq:EBAY - news) that the time was right for International Industries to develop an e-commerce revenue stream and Internet marketing presence. End excerpt. Listed below are links to the recent releases concerning the e-commerce venture(s). (e-commerce intentions - Nov. 12, 1998) biz.yahoo.com (Digital River deal - Jan. 27, 1999)biz.yahoo.com (K-tel deal - Jan. 25, 1999)biz.yahoo.com (Amazon deal - Jan. 6, 1999)biz.yahoo.com (Cyberian Outpost deal - Dec. 10, 1998)biz.yahoo.com IMO, it's hard to tell where it (the share price) will stop. Luck to all bb
