Here is an excerpt from the WSJ:

<<Two media companies this week indicated one way they might bridge the valuation gap. Time Warner on Wednesday said it was in talks with Internet companies about some sort of joint venture. Time Warner said it didn't plan to make acquisitions that would require a significant outlay of cash or equity, but would instead use assets such as its CNN Web site as currency in an Internet deal. CBS Thursday said it was considering a plan to turn its Internet assets into a new public company, which could be used as a currency for CBS to use in investing in other Internet companies.>>

Very good point marion. Their ownership interest in Snap/CNET could be considered monopoly money. They could throw around some of that and some low priced advertising that would involve very little real money in purchasing part of Lycos. That's why I like these message boards so much. In some cases I actually learn things I wasn't aware of.
