From the article:

beginning late in the third quarter of 2003.

Wasn't Terra Lycos shopping around for a buyer for Hotbot & Lycos? hm, I know hotbot was potentiall on the chopping block..still, the traffic from Lycos is so little these days, I wonder how much revenue is really left in it?

Between XML CPC inclusion, and the CPC ads at the top, and the PFI pages, where do they have room to stick more adverts? My guess is near the top, else the ads wouldn't be worth much...strange, though - it seems this would only drive more surfer's away from Lycos, instead of towards them which should be their end goal. They are a portal, after all.

Honestly, I see this as one vulture flying low to scoop on something, just as it's becomming roadkill ;)
