In case you haven't heard elsewhere, Disney has announced plans to
abandon their Go portal. The site will continue for a time, but the
go.com domain name and the Infoseek search engine components will be
sold off. It will be interesting to see how long Infoseek will survive
as a search engine and who might buy it.

Danny Sullivan also has a report at
