Unsatisfied and possibly bored with "old-fashioned" Internet investments such as Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) and Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN), traders have recently snatched up shares of lesser-known online businesses that may have been overlooked by the market. Especially en vogue are companies that help facilitate business-to-business transactions, a service that may become more profitable as the online universe expands. As a Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO) executive recently told the Motley Fool, online companies that can help their customers make more money will hold a distinct advantage over their peers in the Internet economy of the future. Bottomline Technologies (Nasdaq: EPAY) rose $7 7/8 to $37 5/8, Intraware (Nasdaq: ITRA) climbed $4 3/8 to $25 7/8, Safeguard Scientifics (NYSE: SFE) added $8 13/16 to $49, and recent initial public offering RoweCom (Nasdaq: ROWE) jumped $5 1/8 to $35 3/8.
