A very interesting snippet:

They hoped to ride a wave of enthusiasm created by an initial offering of Google, the big search engine, which is expected to go public sometime later this year. Dealtime, they figured, could position itself as the Google of shopping. Indeed, the company has quietly purchased the Web address shopping.com from CMGI's Alta Vista and used it for a version of its service with spare graphics that is meant to look like Google's site. But analysts say that Google may shape up to be more of a rival. It is testing Froogle, its version of a comparison shopping site.

Everyone is just waiting for this Google IPO to magically cure the markets.
