Expensive mistake... But what happened to Quando? CEO Harry Motro said last August that the company acquired Quando to power comparison shopping on Go. But the company now confirms that Quando -- which Infoseek bought for $17 million in an all-stock deal that closed in January -- will not be used as a shopping bot on Go, or on other sites. "Quando will not be part of Go Shop," says Mr. Free. "Quando is ... focusing on local directories. Local [information] is a huge opportunity for the company." "We obviously didn't buy Quando to not do something with it," says Andy Feit, general manager of Infoseek's software division. But, adds Mr. Feit, there are no plans to market the Quando technology to other companies, as Infoseek does with its Ultraseek search technology.
