The Smart Way to Start an Internet Company
So you have a BrilliantIdea.com. Now what? Business 2.0 consults some of the leading minds of Internet business to glean the insights they gained taking their businesses from scribbled-on cocktail napkins to thriving Net companies. Now they divulge the advice they wish they'd had.


Now We're All B-to-Bs
Missing out on the great dot-com run-up? No problem: Just declare yourself a business-to-business play and watch investors line up


Consumer Sites Sing a New Song: B2B
Internet companies from eBay to Buy.com that made their names as consumer-oriented Web sites are changing their tune -- now they are all about business.


Honeymoon Over for E-Commerce Pure-Plays
A growing number of investors have come to believe that pure-play e-commerce companies are burning their cash at an incredibly rapid rate and that these firms will be forced to dilute their outstanding shares with expensive rounds of new financing -- or worse.


Consolidation, Changes Seen in E-Tailing
Floating in red ink, cyberspace retailers may find that marketing dollars used to lure customers to their websites are drying up, leaving a merger with competitors as one survival option.


On-line Toy Market Continues Rise
On-line toy sales catapulted from $45 million in 1998 to $425 million in 1999, according to a report by The NPD Group, Inc. and Media Metrix, which predicts $1.6 billion in on-line toy sales by 2002.


Much at Stake for Internet Retailers
While Internet users are rapidly becoming on-line shoppers, purchase failures, security fears, and service frustrations are rampant, according to a study by The Boston Consulting Group.


Can E-Commerce Police Itself?
Based on the e-commerce industry's youth, disunity and big egos, I doubt that effective self-regulation will happen any time soon. Sad to say, the government will probably be forced to step in and do the job.


Web Merchants Go Multimedia
Many Web merchants are devoting an increasing amount of time and money to implementing audio and video features on their sites. But they are wary of overloading shoppers.


The Bots that Bind: Digital Age Contract Law
In the near future, your shopping bot will be able to enter into legally binding contracts and buy digital products on your behalf.


Study: Sports a $3B On-line Biz
Within three years wired sports fans will create a billion dollar business for sports-related goods and services, Jupiter predicts.


One-in-four Suffer E-Shopping Failures
Some consumers who suffer e-commerce snafus boycott e-tailers' offline ventures as well, report finds.


On-line Toy Sales Up Nearly 1,000 Percent
On-line toy sales shot up faster than an 11-year-old kid last year, rising nearly tenfold to $425 million in 1999, from $45 million the year before, while overall toy sales grew by just 8.6 percent, a survey shows.


E-tailers Must Offer More Than Low Prices
If a new survey is to be believed, low prices can attract new on-line retail customers, but price is no guarantee that customers will keep on coming back.


Software Firms Gear up to run the E-Commerce Race
Companies such as J.D. Edwards, Oracle, SAP and PeopleSoft have found themselves behind in a race to win in the business-to-business e-commerce market -- a market that is expected to surpass the trillion-dollar mark by 2003.


E-Commerce Firms Step Back from Early Strategies
Last week, eToys sharply scaled back its affiliates program, eliminating commissions on sales and paying business partners only one time for a customer referral.


Consumers Showing Interest in On-line Health and Beauty Sector
On-line beauty product sales accounted for approximately 1 percent of the $25 billion-plus total US beauty market in 1999, but could gain significant market share in the near term, according to a report by The NPD Group and Media Metrix.


Credit Card Fraud Crippling On-line Merchants
While credit card companies have consistently maintained that credit card fraud is no more prevalent on-line than in traditional forms of commerce, a number of experts are disputing the notion.


Official E-Commerce Count Released
The Commerce Department reported Thursday that on-line retail sales totaled $5.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 1999, in the government's first official measure of Internet commerce.

E-mail Marketing A $4.8bil Industry By 2004
A growing realization that e-mail is an effective way for e-commerce outfits to hold on to customer and find new ones will balloon the e-mail marketing industry to $4.8 billion by 2004, according to a new study by Forrester Research Inc.


E-Commerce Marketing Needs Specificity
Businesses hoping to snare big bucks in e-commerce must realize that consumer shopping habits for basic products have evolved to a level that requires more specific, fine-tuned marketing strategies to get and keep customers, an ActivMediaResearch study has found.


Spam Strikes Back
Do marketers have the right to send you spam? One Washington state judge has effectively said yes -- and has sparked an instant debate about the constitutionality of laws that limit the use of spam.


Marketers Try Infecting the Internet
Last December, a customer browsing the virtual racks of the on-line beauty retailer Eve.com unearthed an unpublicized makeup brush sale. The customer posted a link to the site in an on-line discussion group.

Car and truck prices posted on the Net are hundreds to thousands of dollars more than the manufacturers' suggested retail prices, according to a report released today by CNW Marketing/Research.


On-line Automobile Market Continues Maturation
The automobile industry and the Internet don't seem like a logical match to many. After all, you can't test drive a car on-line. But more car dealers are on-line than ever before, and consumers seem to be warming up to the idea.


King’s ‘Bullet’ Creates a Horror for E-Tailers
Web booksellers were jammed Tuesday as eager readers sought out the just-released Stephen King novella, "Riding the Bullet," published exclusively on-line in a variety of digital formats. "King Sized Jam" read the apologetic headline at Softlock.com, which provided technology to allow any site to offer the download.


On-line Car-Shopping - It's a No Go

Retail B2B Marketplace Boom Continues
Business-to-business e-commerce marketplaces are popping up throughout the retail industry.


Seller Beware
On-line markets are springing up all over the place. Some are built around buyers, others around independent exchanges. Which work best?


FastParts Aims To Be Industry E-commerce Hub
FastParts.com, the website that acts as an on-line broker of excess components, plans to substantially expand its offerings in the next year.


Bizarre Web Bazaars
You’ve heard almost all the permutations of buying and selling on the Web. Amazon.com launched the most obvious, b-to-c. By now, of course, you’re sick of hearing about all the new b-to-b ventures, the current hot spot. What other permutations can we come up with?


Deep Impact
The deepest impact of exchanges may be on the Web software business. While many view exchanges as another very cool, Web-based application that further justifies the notion that the Internet changes everything, there is more to it than that.


NetTrends: Battle of the E-Marketplace
Everybody wants to be a marketplace. In sectors from cars to chemicals to food ingredients, companies are trying to join all of the participants into Internet-based markets for their industries in hopes of making businesses more efficient.


E-Business Site Targets Schools, Teachers

Analyst Predicts Extension of E-Commerce Tax Ban
A congressional commission isn't likely to recommend changing the current moratorium on taxing e-commerce companies, but there will be some form of taxation in the future, said Henry Blodget, the bullish Merrill Lynch Internet analyst.


Congress Asked Not to Ban Net Taxes
Governors worried about damage that tax-free Internet commerce could do to their state budgets today demanded that Congress refrain from permanently outlawing state sales taxes on electronic purchases.


EU Sticks to On-Line Sales Tax Plan


If Taxed, Most Web Shoppers Won't Buy
Nearly two-thirds of people who shop on the Internet say that they would make fewer purchases from on-line merchants if they had to pay a sales tax, according to a survey conducted as part of a partnership between BizRate.com and the Association for Interactive Media.


Net Tax Commission Dissension May be Growing
A federal panel charged to advise Congress on Internet taxation may pass the buck back to Washington.


Senate Stalls Over E-Signatures
Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., turned up the heat on Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., and other Senate Democrats Tuesday, making an abortive effort to appoint senators to the conference committee that will try to resolve key differences between House and Senate electronic signatures legislation.


Conflicted Opinions on Internet Tax
Less than two weeks before a congressionally- appointed commission is set to announce its recommendations for taxation on the Internet, Deputy Treasury Secretary Stuart Eizenstat said that, regardless of the outcome, states must find a way to simplify their tax codes.


McCain Proposes Another Net Tax Ban
As the war over Internet taxes waged on in Dallas, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., today proposed legislation aimed at extending the current ban on e-commerce taxation.


Australia’s Second Report on Tax and the Internet
As a country that is isolated geographically, Australia has seized on the Internet as a way of bridging the physical gap between itself and the other developed countries of the world. In its second report on Internet taxation, the Australian Tax Office gives us a comprehensive look at the challenges of the future, and some of the ways the ATO plans to meet them.


Clinton: Protect On-line Privacy or Feds Will
Speaking at a forum held by the Aspen Institute in San Jose, California, U.S. President Bill Clinton sternly warned high-tech industry leaders Friday that they must quickly adopt minimum privacy standards or have the government do it for them.


States Plan To Tax On-line Sales
A plan to use technology to harvest and distribute sales taxes for states when goods are bought on-line is gaining momentum, and as many as eight states are ready to back the initiative, according to various industry and government sources.


Net Tax Myth: Tech Is A Barrier
On-line merchants can't realistically be expected to calculate and collect sales taxes for 7,600 different tax jurisdictions, each with hundreds of arcane classifications for how goods are taxed, the argument goes. But many already do, with relative ease.


Are Net Taxes Inevitable?
With a deadline for reporting to Congress looming, the Internet Tax Commission will meet in Dallas to mull e-commerce taxes.


Representation Without Taxation
Lack of Net taxation hurts local communities.


Bill Targets Internet Wine Sales
The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday approved a bill enabling states to block direct shipments of wine and beer to consumers, a measure backed by wholesalers who are losing business because of wine sales over the Internet.


bWhen setting up an e-business, legal landmines abound. Here's some advice on how to avoid them.


Leavitt Leads Net Tax Charge
It won't be the government pushing Net taxation, says Utah's governor, a Net tax proponent. It'll be offline retailers -- realizing how much business they stand to lose.


Another Amazon Patent Furor
A popular book publisher has gathered more than 1,000 signatures protesting the giant e-tailer's "unjustified" patents to seize competitive control.


Amazon Calls for Patent Fix
Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos says he's keeping his controversial Web patents. But for good measure, he promises to try to reform the system that makes software patents too easy to get. Like Amazon's, for example?


bFebruary may be the shortest month of the year, but for CDnow it is a memorable one. The on-line retailer displaced Amazon.com as the top destination on the Web.


Yes Virginia There's an E-Biz Law
A newly signed bill to regulate electronic commerce and "shrink wrap" software licenses has met with vocal opposition from computer scientists, librarians, and consumer activists.


Panel Negotiates Net Tax 'Nexus'
Six members of a congressional advisory panel met privately Monday evening on the second floor of the ritzy Fairmont Hotel here, and the outcome will influence whether American consumers have to pay more for mail-order and Internet purchases.


Click here ... and lose your rights
Are state legislatures about to sign away consumer and jurisdiction rights all for the promise of an e-commerce windfall?


Gore Blasted for Net-tax Stance
Virginia Gov. James Gilmore, a staunch foe of e-commerce taxation, calls Clinton administration 'pro-tax,' warns of stalemate on panel formed to hash out a resolution on the contentious issue.


Feds: Get More Secure or Else
U.S. Federal Trade Commissioner and FBI warn tech CEOs to address security and privacy concerns or lose the opportunity to self-regulate.


U.S., EU Hammer out Net Privacy Plan
A senior U.S. official said on Wednesday that the privacy of personal data was as well-protected by the type of self-regulation favored in the United States as by the legislative approach preferred in Europe.


Regional Asian e-Retailers Risk Being Outrun By Multinationals
With the on-line retail market in Asia-Pacific growing faster than in the United States, the region is set for a transformation of consumer markets.


Regulation of B2B Market Sparks Debate
The rapid growth of the business-to-business market has raised concerns about the potential need for government regulation, an issue that could lead to bitter disputes over control of the multibillion-dollar industry.


Tax Moratorium May Affect Some Non-Net Purchases
A possible compromise on extending the Internet tax moratorium for five years on "digitized" goods like CDs and books could result in those types of purchases becoming tax-free in the "real world," which might cause significant state and local revenue losses, said a member of the Internet Tax Fairness Coalition today.


Government Examines E-Commerce
Still against Net taxes, Commerce Department marvels at on-line sales.


Euro Web Car Sales Drive Mini-Revolution
As the world's top automakers roll out ambitious Internet procurement plans to save billions of dollars, a smaller Web-based popular revolution is gathering speed in Europe's car industry.
