To all my CMGI friends,let's clarify a few points.I am an internet fan and I like to invest in internet stocks especially VC companies.This board is supposed to share ideas about CMGI.I asked many questions but instead of answers(except Amein)I received critics.The reason I was asking questions is to learn more rapidly about CMGI to save spending many hours doing research about this company.I am a bull on this industry like most of you but you don't like my questions because I committed the capital sin of buying shares in another VC company.Don't you understand that if I like this industry,I will do my best to find other opportunities in the same industry? Instead of blaming newcomers for their insufficient knowledge of CMGI,please help them to better understand the company.

Good point; the Internet has a global reach. I wonder what the online vs. not-yet-online statistics are worldwide? I'd be inclined to believe they are much higher than 33% vs. 67% figures in the USA. If each user that comes on increases the Internet's potential exponentially, a theory David Wetherell subscribes to, then the Internet really could be huge someday. Here's an idea: an Internet firm that would utilize some type of language translation technology that would allow each individual to communicate directly with a far wider global community. Wouldn't necessarily have to be very sophisticated; could be as simple as providing the user with multiple-choice options of what the user wants to communicate, which are then translated and sent to the other user.
