Microsoft, Softbank in joint venture INTERNET NEWS.. AOL/SUNW Microsoft (MSFT), Yahoo (YHOO) and Softbank Corp. Wednesday said they'll create a Japanese version of the MSN CarPoint online service. The auto-shopping tool will be distributed through MSN Japan and Yahoo! Japan, starting in the fourth quarter. "The Japanese version of CarPoint will give auto manufacturers and dealers the opportunity to showcase their products and services to over 80 percent of the Internet audience in Japan," said Microsoft's Bill Gates. Initial capital of the new company will be $7 million, with 50 percent of its common stock owned by Softbank, 40 percent by Microsoft and 10 percent by Yahoo! Japan. Softbank chairman Masayoshi Son will be CEO and president of the new company. ABC, AOL join for drug prevention The director of the White House office of national drug control policy announced two online areas to deliver anti-drug information and resources. ABC's Freevibe.com includes entertainment news, and information about teens' interests, such as what's up in Hollywood, what's new at the movies, and what's hot at the music store. In addition, the AOL Parents' Drug Resource Center was created with Partnership for a Drug-Free America. It provides resources for parents and other adults to help identify and recognize kids who are at risk of drug abuse or using illicit substances. New Microsoft browser makes splash Microsoft (MSFT) said its barely week-old browser has been downloaded a million times. The company said the number of transfers of its Internet Explorer 5.0 was more than three times the volume after the previous version was released. Microsoft said the download count was only on its Web sites, and did not include those from more than 100 other sites also offering it. Deal of the day: Web e-commerce developer Boxlot.com said it agreed to create a co-branded person-to-person auction site service with Theglobe.com (TGLO). Beginning in the second quarter of 1999, Theglobe.com's over 9.3 million users will be able to shop for deals and create their own personalized online auctions from one location on the Internet, the companies said. Boxlot said the two-year agreement is worth $2.25 million. AOL layoffs may hit 1,000 America Online (AOL) said the integration of Netscape Communications will lead to reductions of 350 to 500 jobs at Netscape and approximately the same number across AOL's other operations. The company also said it will organize into four Product Groups: The Interactive Services Group, focused on its branded interactive services; the Interactive Properties Group, built around branded properties that operate across multiple services or platforms; the Netscape Enterprise Group, which will continue to serve Netscape's enterprise customers and contribute to America Online's part of the e-commerce alliance with Sun; and the AOL International Group. All four units will report to AOL president Bob Pittman. The company said highly-visible Netscape executive Mike Homer, who developed the company's Netcenter portal site, will "have significant responsibilities in the Interactive services group."
