                      "The deal announced Monday represents Diller's bet that he can transform a second-tier search engine into a more formidable threat to industry leaders Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc., much like he built the once-irrelevant Fox television network into a major media player in the late 1980s and early 1990s."
                      TV is a lot different than the internet. Esspecially with search engines because people only go there because of the results the produce not for entertainment value.
                      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                              I think you might be wrong there. The first time it occurred they didn't know how to handle it in the stock market. Now they have a lot more experience and know a little more on how to price shares, etc. Will be very interesting.
                              Your sig chose me!

                                      if that's true, they must have a better idea coming in.
