if a buyer can't be found within a month

Excite UK is on the verge of becoming part of dotcom history if a buyer can't be found in the next month.

From [theregister.co.uk...] - The Register.

Scratch one more portal?

Excite is currently BT Openworld's alternative SE (after LookSmart)
Interesting to see who they would get into bed with next, considering their contract with INK ended in July last.

I still get some good referals from Excite- what a Bummer.
Looks like I'm gonna have to put a paid INK listing on my letter to Father Christmas...and before the price goes up :)

This doesn't leave Overture UK with much in the way of partners. Freeserve, Ask & Alta Vista. And AV are hardly a major player over here.
