(Financial Times 11 Jun 97) Should read: The new general trend in Internet retailing is toward standalone sites targeted at specific market segments with Web Catalog 2.0. :)BTW, FWIW, I got 2 replies about my pending scoreboard and chat tour post headed here last week. So I'll put those ideas on ice for a month or so. Figure everyone is too deep into 2.0 development to want traffic this month. I'll be back with this later.-------------- Mark Rauterkus, Publisher, S.S.S.mrauterkus@sportsurf.net --------------
