Think the even bigger news here is Jeeves taking control of the Excite search box on the US Excite portal. Separate ownership of the portal by Jeeves and the search box by Infospace made no sense and inhibited Excite's growth. Now that Jeeves and Infospace are sharing the search revenue, Excite (US) can be marketed properly for growth.
The one thing that intrigues me about the Excite European buy is that I believe it creates a pathway to introduce MyWay internationally as Excite and MyWay can run on the same portal platform overseas with similar distribution deals -- Mirroring the US multiple portal strategy of MyWay, Excite and iWon. |
