Mickey Mouse's handlers consider taking a rumored 10% stake in Infoseek
(NASDAQ:SEEK), the 'Peacock Network' (NBC) effectively buys control of
CNET's Snap portal, and suddenly the navigation stocks once again thrive on
the belief that old-line media firms may buy newfangled Internet
powerhouses, pushing Top 10 per user value to $91 on average.
Mecklermedia's WebSite Value Index without Yahoo!, however, shows a little
more modest $80 average.
We're carrying AOL.com at about 10% of its overall market capitalization
although the Web site could be worth double that.
