----
Net Car Shoppers Have New Ally Edmunds.com, which offers pricing
but doesn't sell cars, will announce Monday partnerships with major Internet buying
services, automakers and dealers. Besides links to the buying services, Edmunds
will provide a review of what each site offers.
Business-To-Barnyard
Venture - Rooster.com A trio of agricultural giants are teaming up for
a business-to-barnyard venture they say will link retailers, farmers' cooperatives
and manufacturers through an electronic marketplace.
Five
Big U.S. Homebuilders to Start Web Firm The five largest homebuilders
in the United States on Thursday said they would start a company to launch an
Internet site to help sell homes.
Old
Ally Slams Amazon on Patent Filings On-line retailer Amazon.com Inc. came
under increasing pressure Tuesday to back off from patent claims on "obvious"
business ideas.
eBay
Drives Deal with On-Line Used Car Seller eBay, the largest on-line auctioneer,
teamed with AutoTrader.com today to create the Internet's largest auction-style
Web site for buying and selling used cars.
Consumer
Products Firms Plan Web Exchange Fifty food, beverage and consumer product
makers are planning an open, electronic marketplace to link all participants in
the industry supply chain.
Bricks
and Clicks Learn Together Even as they vie for customers on the Web, smart
executives at traditional retailers and pure Internet start-ups can learn from
each other's strengths and weaknesses, and from how they tackle common problems
from different viewpoints.
Putting
B2B Under the Microscope The market barely exists, but early players are
worth billions. Will investors late to the party get stuck with worthless paper?
E-Tailers
Make Alterations Some VCs now say they will fund anything but an Internet
store -- seeing as many of those high-flying IPOs seemed to have hit major airpockets.
That has some e-tail pioneers retooling their businesses.
Cash
Drought Ahead for Net firms? At least 51 Internet firms will run out of
cash within the next year, according to a Pegasus Research International study
commissioned by Barron's and reported in its March 20 edition.
Hello!
and Welcome to Movie Passes Six big theater chains are joining forces
to create an Internet company that will let customers print tickets at home.
An
$80 Million Buffet for Food.com Hungry to expand on the Net, firms such
as McDonald's, Kraft Foods and TV Guide are investing in the on-line dining service.
Food.com
Acquires Delivery Service The on-line dining firm goes full throttle and
makes a deal for Takeout Taxi.
