Say Hello to MyWay.Com [myway.com]

MyWay.Com is part of the Excite Network and touts

"one the Internet's most protective privacy policies and -- most importantly -- does not contain a single banner or pop-up advertisement throughout the entire site."

The search and directory portion of the site features Google content. Pdf and other alternative formats are available in html but listed as cached which is different than what's found on Google.Com. Image search is also available.

Other portal features include free e-mail (5mb inbox), page personalization, toolbar, and more.

They also promote the site as "fast loading". Each page features a box with an approximage page load time.

Still:
- tons of major HTML errors.
- 'strange' javascript encoding/hiding [->document.write('<scr'+'ipt src="'+trJSURL+'"></scr'+'ipt>')]
- no real true/innovative content.

Netblock owner:
Iwon [iwon.com].
iwon.com: -> same content as myway.com, with tons of ads.
Another domain hosted by this netblock owner: excite.com.

Google franchise?
Maybe..

But:
No care of code/content -> only marketing. [IMHO eh.. :)]

<added>Ok I'm a little bit rude.. this stuff is not so bad. clean-fast-etc. But it's only another Google-clone + some grabbed news + ..wait.. 6 sponsored links on top.. bwahahaha.. I can't stay serious.. LOL</added>
