AOL與Yahoo!兩家公司同時宣佈,公司將推出B2B電子商務服務。AOL將與PurchasePro.com合作,並預計在今年第二季正式推出這項服務。雙方將以PurchasePro的技術為基礎,推出一個互動式交易市場,企業可以在此購買及販售產品或服務。這個交易市場將供AOL的客戶使用,同時PurchasePro也將在其網站上,行銷共同品牌的AOL即時傳訊者產品。

這個電子商務交易市場將由AOL及PurchasePro.com共同開發,廣告費用及交易收入亦共同分擔。

Yahoo!也宣佈推出B2B的電子商務市場,其中包括了設備、庫存、以及產品目錄等服務。這個網站提供買家到其他交易市場搜尋產品的功能,買家可以在四處比價後,將資料整合入個人的行事曆中。Yahoo!合作的對象包括了DoveBid Inc.、FreeMarkets.com的Asset Exchange、Imark.com、以及Tradeout.com等。

在電子商務的領域中,B2B市場近來成了當紅炸子雞。IDC預測,B2B市場將呈現爆炸性的成長,今年B2B市場規模將達2,000億美元,到了2004年時,更將成長至2.5兆美元之譜。這也就是為什麼有這麼多的業者,近來積極切入這個領域的主因。

截至目前為止,儘管大家的目光都集中在如甲骨文、福特等大公司所成立的線上合夥關係,但實際上真正讓人振奮的領域,卻是在一般消費者及小企業市場。About.com最近就宣佈將推出獨立的B2B服務,eBay也將推出讓企業拍賣商品的特殊網站。

AOL表示,他們推出的電子商務交易市場,將為「各種規模」的企業服務,同時也將提供合適的企業解決方案,讓企業能輕鬆便利地在網路上購買及銷售商品。

Please add: Yuan Chee (Acer's unit) is into eBay's business.

E-Commerce is absolutely not just a fashion, it saves the land, rent, shares the info, breaks the nationality (now only limited by the reading language), expends the market, stimulates new ideas from customers needs, from vendors' pushes, all flows speed up. It will be one advanced way to do current business and one alternative way to bring new business concepts that could not be done within old era.

It is the business, very business as much as other business types. There will never be too many "hair salons", "TV stations", "Banks" or "software companies"...there is only the matter of "Competition". However, Hair salons could not wash your hair through the internet; that's why I bring this up, This is real INFO ERA, if your investment concept is still relying on the assets you can see its crash, you can touch or drink, you will be "new poor" soon. The return of info value would be far more attractive. What a hair salon could do stupidly, just put its map and pic on the homepage, what a hair salon could discover the customer is coming to buy "beauty" through their experts/tech/tool over the head or hair...thus selling the info of making your customer beautiful, special(I hate every pretty girl becomes dull, same make up, same cloth from same famous brands, yuck), and expands your product line and markets. There are a lot of room for further discussion. However, the point is, to sell info will be one essential key to success.

When I saw Amazon.com three years ago, I knew it was going to be shining in stock markets even only a few few analysts pointed out for us at that moment. Most of people, are so cower and doubtful; of course they are, if they see Amazon is just "selling the book, audio, software..."; what satisfying me is the community behind the screen, the community I feel belonging to, and the info you get no matter you buy or not. What you can get from a book store when you buy nothing, perhaps they just tell you what they can help (help you to find the bookshelf...HAHAHAHA, sometimes I am very mean this way, please bear with me; I am not mean to people, just to the "symptoms", the illness they are used to and not aware yet.) E-commerce business era is not only about the physical assets or invisable assets, it is about discovery of true needs and meeting those needs. 

Will Wall Street buy the Porn.com?

How do you think? Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. Who asks the question? Is Wall Street a marketplace or a school? We will see.

It is sad though, capitalism is eroding us but we can't escape from it. We are too weak to believe something else.

Read carefully, there is some more significant meaning.

Hi, this excited me, so  I pasted whole thing from CNN.~ Mar. 15, 2000 

Chess Web site launch will feature Kasparov, Becker in match

KasparovChess
Kasparov plays 30 New York City kids at a launch event for KasparovChess.com  

March 15, 2000
Web posted at: 10:03 AM EST (1503 GMT)

NEW YORK -- On Tuesday, one of the chess's best players ever launched a Web site dedicated to the game. The site contains general fare such as interviews, advice and match-making services, but it will also serve as a worldwide stadium for some top matches.

If fans can get past the predictable crush and access the site, they'll get a treat on Wednesday afternoon. The site will showcase a live chess game between Kasparov and Boris Becker, the German tennis star. Becker will play from CNN's studios in Berlin, and the game will also be on the CNN television network.

As part of the launch event Tuesday, Kasparov took on some lesser-known but no less competitive players.

Kasparov stalked his prey during a worldwide Internet chess tournament against 30 youngsters. During one game, Evan Alvarez suddenly realized he had the grandest master on the planet right where any sixth-grade student could want.

So the 10-year-old whiz-kid from the Bronx eyed the wooden board one final time, saw the obvious outcome, and then asked the reigning world chess champ in a soft voice, "Do you want a draw?"

It was a mortal error.

"He said, "Excuse me?" Alvarez said later.

Renowned for a competitive drive that's hidden behind his emotionless face, an incredulous Kasparov turned down the offer. The two continued the game. Alvarez misplayed one of the final moves, and that was it. He had lost.

The moment left Alvarez, who looked like he had been punched in the stomach, with a lesson learned. In the world of chess, protocol discourages a lesser opponent from offering the draw, which is the equivalent of a tie. Getting a draw with Kasparov would have been quite a feat for the 10-year-old, given that the world champ played the white pieces, enabling him to take the enviable first attack move.

"You don't do that -- it's a no-no," said Marley Kaplan, the deputy director for Chess-in-the-Schools, a nonprofit organization that brings chess to children at 160 schools in New York City on Tuesday. "That made Kasparov mad."

One of Kasparov's other opponents was able to prevail. Viktoria Zaks, 12, one of 20 competitors playing via computer, earned the draw from Israel, where she lives.

The competition was broadcast from the studio at Times Square to a giant screen nearby, a considerably smaller audience than the Web site will have.

"So many kids don't have teachers available, or even someone to play against," said Elizabeth Elman, a spokeswoman for the Web site. "This really levels out the field."

By the end of the matches, Alvarez became one of Kasparov's 29 victims, all of whom were teen-agers or younger.

Another Bronx opponent, Daniel Marriomon, had high hopes.

He expected to win.

"I was beating him three-quarters of the way and then I choked up and lost," said Marriomon, 10, of the Bronx. "I had him on the ropes for a long while. It was like football: I was running 100 yards and I got close, and then he tripped me up."

Like Marriomon, Alvarez was left with "what ifs."

"It was a dead draw. I thought he didn't want to play," said Alvarez, who is an honor student and placed second in the 1999 national chess championship for his age division.

David MacEnulty, Alvarez's chess teacher, acknowledged that his pupil had erred.

"But, he is only 10," MacEnulty said. "He hadn't played a world champion before."

You Are My Beautiful Friend
All of my friends are beautiful, esp. Libra species, truly respectful, elegant (no fur, thick make-up, arrogant attitude   and artificial gesture) understanding, and open-minded (not that kind of people who like to be  sitting between a couple). And I am very lucky to have many "Liberians"  in my life.

I am strict to "Friends" and picky on staying in a neat, truly compassionate, and fun (X pollutions) friendships. I have no loyalty to acquaintances or friends who become not responsive. I would feel that I rather burn my life for those responsive and caring ones. I found Life Is Very Beautiful once you get rid of the dust, dirt, and non-necessities but surrounded yourself with honest, learning, spiritual, straight and down-to-earth friends.

Happiness comes from discovery, appreciation, belonging and building things together, if not possible, solitude is also very blissful, valuable and neat. I think the Life I would like to have is quiet, full of motion and building, for interest and curiosity more than for money, help people who need me rather than stick to people whom I need emotionally or in other ways. The life which is simple, full of arts, and inventions rather than gossips and oily food is essential to me. Otherwise I would rather die, even I miss my family so much.

The following test you might have seen before, but it always reminds myself the importance of balance since I am such a reckless impatient young chicken™.

Add the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINTS:

Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You are seen

as vain, self-centered, and extremely dominant. Others may admire you

and wish they could be more like you, but they don't always trust you

and hesitate to become too deeply involved with you.

 

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:

Your friends see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive

personality; a natural leader, quick to make decisions (though not

always the right ones). They see you as bold and venturesome, someone

who will try an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of

the excitement you radiate.

 

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:

Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and

always interesting; someone who is constantly the center of attention,

but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to your head. They see

you also as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer

them up and help them out.

 

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:

Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They

see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who

makes friends too quickly or too easily, but someone who is extremely

loyal to the friends you do make and who expects the same loyalty in

return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to

shake your trust in your friends, but, equally, that it takes you a long

time to get over it if that trust is broken.

 

FROM 21 TO 30 POINTS:

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very,

very cautious and extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would

really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the

spur of the moment. They expect you to examine everything carefully from

every side and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction

on your part is caused partly by your careful nature and partly by

laziness.

 

UNDER 21 POINTS:

People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs to

be looked after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and

doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a

worrier, who sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're

boring. Only the people who know you well know that you aren't.
