They recently took a dive after acquiring Health care software company Eclipsys. The acquisition was last week, and it is a company (the new company) that is worth investing in. There is a message board for the company located here: http://www.investorville.com/ubb/Forum17/HTML/000054.html |

High everyone, I'm looking for the latest news on Neoforma (NEOF), a health care B2B that recently took a dive. I've heard a Bear Sterns analyst has said it will rise significantly, and I can't find anything on that. Any input? |

This is an important trend in net usage... Soon the World Wide Web might just be an outdated platform. Well, probably not soon, but at some point. http://www.thestandard.com/article/display/1,1151,13432,00.html Smaller E-commerce companies (and sites belonging to individual entrepreneurs) may need to worry about their web presence, and not assume it will always be the way people do things. |

Two months after the Super Bowl, it's becoming increasingly clear that most "dotcom" advertisements are a big waste of time and money. (source: Upside) http://www.upside.com/Upshot/38e3a6ea0.html |

Here's a quote from Ellen Neuborne from Business Week: "Internet retailers have successfully created awareness for their brands. But if they really want to make e-commerce a trend rather than a fad, they'll have to focus on service. It's what turns dabblers into loyal customers." E-commerce companies are apparently doing a really poor job of this since the holiday season ended. |

E-mail marketing isn't just looked at as spam anymore. Permission marketing is a force that some think will change the face of business. (source: Upside) http://www.upside.com/texis/mvm/story?id=38c939b60 The National Retail Federation and Forrester Research, in conjunction with Greenfield Online, recently announced the first results of the NRF/Forrester Online Retail Index. It is designed to show how consumers are using the internet as a retail channel. The results aren't as impressive as you might expect. |

In the largest known case of cybertheft, a computer intruder stole information on more than 485,000 credit cards from an e-commerce site and then secretly stored the massive database on a U.S. government agency’s Web site. Credit card companies notified financial institutions, but many of the compromised accounts remain open to this day because the banks neither closed them nor notified customers of the theft.

Here's a quote from BizReport.com "By 2003, B2C transactions in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific combined will have multiplied by over seven times the amount in 2000. Business-to-consumer transactions will become increasingly based in these three major regions over the next four years, so that by 2003, about 99.9% of all business-to-consumer transactions will take place in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific." $9.3 trillion is the estimate of total sales by 2003... B2C might be a dirty word in the stock market, but that's only because these prices were WAY too high. I still think there is room in the sector for tremendous growth. Granted there will always be companies like the ones talked about in the InvestorGuide Daily article who just fall by the wayside or get acquired or end up bankrupt. I think there were hundreds of auotmakers in the early 1900s just in america, and now there are 4 or 5 sizeable ones. The same thing happens in almost every industry, it just happens more quickly in the e-commerce industry. |

Investors may be losing interest in e-tail stocks as CDnow sinks on a failed merger, online grocer Peapod considers a sale on after the loss of its CEO and $120 million in funding, and shares of HomeGrocer barely hover above its IPO level.

Expedia.com will record $4 to $6 million in third quarter losses to cover fraudulent credit card purchases made on its Web site. Are they the only ones doing this? I'm sure they aren't the only e-commerce company dealing with fraud. I applaud them for their foresight and honesty in this regard. |

Internet retailers are falling on tough times. Some even say that e-tailing has become a dirty word. (source: SJ Mercury Center) http://www.mercurycenter.com/svtech/news/breaking/merc/docs/071675.htm President Clinton is pushing governors to reach a compromise on internet taxation that would link a tax moratorium with a plan for states to simplify their sales tax structures.

A good article about how to measure the success of an e-commerce company.... Conversion rates. http://www.news.com/Perspectives/Column/0,176,403,00.html Obviously this number is hard to come by for most investors, but thinking about it is important. |

Here's an interesting quote: "The pure-play online company is being exposed as a myth. It's time for the 'e' in e-business to return to its rightful place, as the fifth letter of the alphabet." - Mohanbir Sawhney, professor at Kellogg Business School I tend to agree with him, that in a few years this message board called e-commerce will only need to be labled commerce. |

The days of the net as a tax-free zone are nearing the end. Or are they? Business 2.0 has a roundtable discussion on what's next. http://www.business2.com/articles/2000/02/content/feature_3.html Behind every great online business lurks a well-oiled digital assembly line, escorting transactions from the time your eyeballs hit the screen to delivery at your doorstep. Here's a look behind the scenes at the new ecommerce engines and the web businesses smart enough to install them. Venture capitalists are placing bets on sites that sell jewelry. Basement.com turns e-commerce into a game. Items sold on Basement.com get continually cheaper as time goes on until, without warning, it sells out and becomes unavailable at any price. |
