Mohan, I think iTurf and Etoys will do well. Etoys is better than iTurf. PLXT will do moderately well in the short term, but will probably do very well long term.

Mohan, Checked out the NetObjects web site, including Samir's bio. I think that technology is interesting, but I was turned-off by the bio. Not really sure why - maybe the style/tone. I've never seen a segment in someone's bio thanking the VCs who funded the company - sort of like accepting an Oscar speech, or something. I believe that companies are successful if their founder/leader has an unwavering vision, drive and execution about what the company means to the industry/world. The CEO's bio is a good place to find whether the person is someone who's already taking bows for perceived success, or tremendously hungry for something really big. Oh well, maybe I'm just analyzing this too much - it is after all almost 2 am. Nevertheless, something rubbed me the wrong way about that bio. - Marq.
