They hit paydirt with "search, don't sort" and "sell user data/advertising to others, not services to users". And they definitely revolutionized web search -- before Google, it was all about making the query as smart as possible. Google made the index smarter. But good point. They've had some notable strike outs, too. They seem to do better with general strategies than specific products. But then, they missed the boat on social media, too. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
