I also use Metacrawler as my primary search engine. It is the most efficient search mechanism, I think, because it condenses and combines the results from several other search engines, such as Yahoo, Excite, and AltaVista. It utilizes technology originally developed at the Univ. of Washington and licensed (at a very cheap rate) to GNET. Metacrawler is the #1 GNET site for driving advertising revenue. A very large portion of their page views are through Metacrawler. Stocksite offers interesting analysis from Cousin Bob and Bill Fleckenstein. I read it. It should be better integrated with SI, IMO. Over time, HyperMart may be the most valuable property, with tremendous e-commerce potential and a strong niche with small businesses. I also think PlaySite is one of the best sites on the Web for games such as chess, checkers and word games. It can be very addictive and the between games period makes for an effective advertising time. All of these sites, and many more, I'm sure, to be acquired, will be enhanced by the Paul Allen relationship and the access to his broad bandwidth cable customers.

Sarkie Bug >> Welcome to GNET and SI board / EVERYONE read this: Yes there are millions of people including myself that uses GNET sites but not that many people know about Go2net and its sites yet. I have been using Metacrawler search engine of GNET for almost 2 years now and do rate it "THE BEST". I love SI too and lately after becoming lifetime member I have been using it a lot. I occasionally use Go2Net,Stocksite, 100Hot,Webmarket also. I think I could be wrong saying GNET is somewhat overpriced. More I think I feel may be I should buy few thousands and hold. Why would Billionaire Paul Allen buy GNET stocks at $90. He must have visualized chances of doubling or tripling his investment. For me after having owned GNET in single digit, it seems that now its somewhat overpriced. Well we all know that potential for web is incredible. Internet market is exploding and shall continue in near future too. Internet is not a bubble that's for sure. I think I am going to buy on Monday and just put some shares aside as investment for long term. Mostly I will trade though, but it appears that GNET is headed for $200. I know my today's post is somewhat contradictory to what I said yesterday or in past few days. But I think GNET is in better shape today that it was ever before. I see its rank moving up on 100Hot listings, I see number of posts on SI rising at a fast pace, With upcoming e-commerce initiative and new potential acquisitions GNET could be a BLUE CHIP company someday. Does anyone agree with my views, please let me know you comments. Just my views.
