While the marketing alliances look impressive at first glance we think Bluefly needs to market itself, and that means spending. In retrospect I believe that Netscape's biggest error was bringing in an Internet outsider to head them up. It made Wall Street happy, but Internet companies need vision and understanding first. Marc Andreessen is not given enough credit. His vision started this wild ride for all of us.
Many Internet companies blend experienced management with youthful vigor.
I also agree that Andreessen should be given more credit for Netscape's rise. Marc reads this report so your comments won't go unnoticed. I believe it's time to unmask the differences between Yahoo and Excite. On the other hand, Excite seems to have a faster growth rate in revenues. Now, valuation is VERY different.
