1999,世纪末的最后一年注定是网络世界天翻地覆,风起云涌的一年,乘着去年底AOL并购Netscape的势头,仅仅在头2个月中,就连续发生了几次重大的并购事件,@Home 67亿美元买下了Exeite、Yahoo收购了Geocities……。各大因特网巨头之间的实力格局不断因为各种并购活动随其股票价格发生巨大变化。谁也说不清下一个将会是哪一家。从剩下的知名因特网公司如Lycis(在1998年中一直在悄悄聚敛网络资产,将Tripod,Whowhere,Wired Digital都归依它门下),Xoom,TheGlobe……到电子商务公司如eBay,Onsale,CDnow等,主角可能是传统媒体公司:时代华纳、索尼、CBS……也可能是通信公司AT&T,MCI/WorldCom,Sptint,甚至是微软。但是这台好戏的精彩程度是不容置疑的。
1999, the last year of the end of the century is bound to be the upside-reverberating year in the online world. Taking the momentum of AOL’s acquisition of Netscape late last year, only a few major mergers and acquisitions took place in the first two months alone. Billions bought Exeite, Yahoo bought Geocities .... The strength of the pattern among the major Internet giants is constantly changing because of various mergers and acquisitions with their stock prices. No one can tell what the next one will be. From the rest of the well-known Internet companies such as Lycis (which has been quietly amassing network assets since 1998, leaving Tripod, Whowhere and Wired Digital under its roof), Xoom, TheGlobe ... to ecommerce companies such as eBay, Onsale, CDnow and others , The protagonist may be traditional media companies: Time Warner, Sony, CBS ...... Also may be the communications company AT & T, MCI / WorldCom, Sptint, and even Microsoft. But the thrill of this good show is undeniable.
