They have an incredible, incredible opportunity here. I got FAN MAIL after including that resource. It covers 1000 sites, they say. They also have energy industry news on the same page. AltaVista has made two pretty big announcements today.
First announcement is that they're opening up their source code.
Opening the source code is a nice idea, but hands-up everybody who thinks they could make their site a lot more popular just by clearing a lot of the stuff off the front page and making it a bit more navigable. In recognition of Black History Month, InfoPlease has assembled a resource center containing biographic information about famous African Americans, features, and a civil rights timeline. Borders has made an agreement with AltaVista to use their search tech on the Borders' site. I'll let you know if I hear anything. Drop me a note .
