Note both Altavista and Deja.com, two search engines which decided to

become multi-internet mega-entertainment portals, found out that nobody

cared, and have now reverted to being search engines.


Particularly galling in the case of Deja.com, as its only useful feature

was the ability to search old Usenet postings, something they curtailed in

order to become a kind of mutant MSN.


My guess is that Netscape.com will eventually realise that people go there

to download Netscape, not to find out about the news.
