With today's launch of Lycos Asia in India, we will have executed this plan well within schedule, and are poised to become the true Pan-Asian portal by the end of the year. She added that Lycos Asia's entry into India is the most natural and logical step in the light of India representing Asia's fastest growing Internet population and the country's fast developing Information Technological infrastructure. In addition to content, Lycos Asia's array of community services and tools encourage community building. For example, Tripod Asia's free web-building facility provides an easy way for both consumers and businesses to build their own content and portals, and encourage bonding and activities around their own communities of interest. Lycos Asia believes that the success of any Internet portal lies in its ability to create communities of interest and aims to do this through a combination of rich localized content and popular on-line tools.
Communities are at the core of the hub.
An Internet community personalizes the Web, allowing people with common interests to seamlessly find, communicate and interact with each other, acting as participants, rather than observers. Lycos Asia Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
