Humbly report, All, Go2Net's Silicon Investor Surpasses 10 Million Postings SEATTLE, June 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Go2Net, Inc. (Nasdaq: GNET), a network of branded, technology- and community-driven Web sites, announced that Silicon Investor (http://www.siliconinvestor.com), the Web's premier financial discussion site, received its 10 millionth posting today. Since its inception in late 1995, Silicon Investor has developed a base of more than 120,000 active members, who post approximately 600,000 messages per month. Go2Net will reward Silicon Investor member Dan Spangenberg, who posted the 10 millionth message and resides in suburban Salt Lake City, Utah, with a prize package to commemorate the event. "This is a significant milestone for Silicon Investor, which has set itself apart by being the Web's only successful subscription-based financial discussion service," said Russell C. Horowitz, Go2Net CEO. "While it is rewarding to note the quality and popularity of Silicon Investor to-date, we're especially looking forward to re-launching the site very shortly, with the addition of key features and services that will firmly establish Silicon Investor as the destination of choice for smart investors." In the coming weeks, G02Net will unveil a comprehensive redesign of Silicon Investor, incorporating the charting and financial analysis capabilities of Go2Net's recently-acquired IQC.com (http://www.iqc.com) and the proprietary articles, company research and portfolio tracking tools of Go2Net's StockSite (http://www.stocksite.com). The re-launch will also introduce a new user interface for Silicon Investor, along with improved navigation schemes throughout the site's discussion threads and services. Go2Net acquired Silicon Investor in 1998 and has since established the service as an integral part of the Go2Net Network. About the prize package Spangenberg will receive an expenses-paid trip for two to Go2Net headquarters in Seattle, along with the opportunity to meet with Go2Net CEO Horowitz, Silicon Investor co-founders Brad and Jeff Dryer, Silicon Investor managing director Bryan Burdick, and Silicon Investor's 'Market Rap' columnist Bill Fleckenstein. He will also be presented with $1,000 spending money, free lifetime memberships to all Silicon Investor services and other Go2Net merchandise. From go2net.newsalert.com Bold by Svejk.
