Ikr? Same with HotBot, and InfoSpace and Lycos and Metacrawler and WebCrawler and Dogpile and Looksmart and so on...

I get these confused ALL THE TIME with Google!

Yes! A hundred million black holes. One for every miracle.

Ask Jeeves can now point to InterActive's own properties when it feels like. Let's plan my date, Jeeves:

Where can I find easy fat chicks (match)

I need tickets to New Orleans (expedia)

Where can I get tickets for Hootie? (ticketmaster)

where are BBQ restarants in New Orleans (citysearch)

I need a cheap hotel in New orleans(expedia)

How can I have other people see my searches? (searchspy)

How can I give all my web browsing information to you for you to resell? (speedbar)

Their version of the intarweb need not point to pesky competitors.

Also notable is that all the search return links given by Ask Jeeves are not to the destination site but are referred back to Ask, which then forwards you; AJ know the search returns that you are clicking on also. Couple that with the mandatory cookies on expedia etc and you are being watched, tracked, sold to, and sold.

Don't be a worker, be an employer. Own shares in boatbuilders, watchmakers, and homebuilders.

Coach: NYSE:COH - Makers of overpriced handbags and crap. $15/share to $34/share in 2003.
Tiffany: NYSE:TIF - Bringing you $18000 cufflinks, $25000 pendants, and yes, $8000 watches. $21/share to $42/share in 2003.
Ethan Allen: NYSE:ETH - Outsourcing manufacturing of its high-end furniture in China, then bring it back to the States to resell to yuppie types at outrageous margins. $30/share to $45/share in 2003.
Beazer Homes:NYSE:BZH - Homebuilders, during a time of low interest rates and a bunch of people running away from the housing market. Tough call.

There are 20,000 publicly-listed opportunities out there. They trade every day.

You can own a piece of any of them for not much more than the cost of a pizza, a stick of RAM, or a decent CPU.

Hrm... Not quite there yet.

Searching for Microsoft and Redmond in the search and location fields yields nothing.

From Google's regular search engine I get these results.

I think they still have some work cut out for them. Granted, it's a great feature, but nothing earth-shattering, since the concept of "yellow pages" has been online for a very long time.

Some notable YP type engines that I might suggest:

- Yahoo Yellow Pages
- InfoSpace
- Bigfoot

Right, I was wrong.

The contact info isn't anywhere on the Gates Foundation page, but according to this page (206) 709-3100 is in fact a number for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Mods, feel free to mod my previous post down.

• Whitepages
• Infospace
• Switchboard

RTFA. Techdirt specifically said the threat had nothing to do with their decision, since it was unlikely to happen and even less likely to succeed. They pulled the information out of respect for privacy.

Personally, I disagree. In general, a business has little or no right to privacy; their address is required by law to be public knowledge. IMHO, a business that intentionally intrudes on people's lives deserves none at all. But more importantly, contact information for Alyxsandra Sachs is public, not private:

• Whitepages
• Infospace
• Switchboard

Furthermore: from the NYT article: "These antispammers should get a life," she said. "Do their fingers hurt too much from pressing the delete key? How much time does that really take from their day?"

Between downloading it from our mail server, sorting it into a local folder, skimming the preview, and pressing delete, my office spends a couple thousand dollars a year in salaried employee time. Does that answer your question, Alyx?

That's what the Infospace entry says for Bay TSP as well...

Let's pay a visit!

Bay TSP

"Ded pussy?" (eeeewwww!)

"Wet kitty?" (much nicer!)

I just hope the graphics are better than that tombstone the Napster guys did.

If you'd known about this during trading hours on the 12th (and sold your stock on the 13th!) it would have been a nice trade, but IMHO a look at PRVT's one-year stock chart still says "Fucked Company".

There's plenty of ways to blow a wad of cash in this market. I'd think hard before going long here.

I note that clicking the gopher link listed at http://www.solutions.fi/index.cgi/news_2002_06_04 redirects me to http://www.infospace.com/info.gopher/ in IE but Mozilla 0.9.9 ignores the click on the link completely. Going to http://www.solutions.fi/iebug2/run.cgi gives me a broken QuickTime graphic in IE, but the text document in Mozilla. What's going on? Is this a bug or isn't it?

Since no one else is posting any sites to find info... here goes.

...and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Try a search on deja.com for your name, you might be surprised.

Yahoo (YHOO) is up 19 1/8 points on the news. Either investors are confused and think the DoS attack is generating millions of dollars in ad-impression revenue, or the stock market makes absolutely no sense. I have no good reason to suspect it's anything but the latter.
