<<Could someone explain to me how NETP makes its money. I know what it's software does. >> I believe that they lisence their software to large e-commerce companies. There is a long sales cycle for the Net Perceptions products. They let many potential clients examine the software in advance of purchase. NETP also provides consulting services that they charge for. Soon I believe that they will launch an NETP product for the big call centers (like LL Bean, Lands' End, J Crew etc..). NETP also is working on adapting their technologies for the Knowledge Management Field. I think they would lisence a special version of the software for corporations to use on their websites. Empowering employees to quickly and efficiently find relevant information on company websites is a BIG thing. It will grow in importance as the web is used more and more. I hope this helps. Best Regards, Scott
