Lycos Europe to Drop HotBot (DE)

Restructuring its search portals

[fantomaster]

Lycos Europe is to drop the German instance of HotBot
in order to focus on its two main search engines Lycos.de
and Fireball.de, de.internet.com reports, citing corporate
sources.

Nice find.
But Fireball.de is to close down.

The message actually states that they will keep Fireball up and running, just consolidating their corporate structure, laying off some staff but continuing to run it as before.
