Altavista will try another IPO

from the they've-slipped-but-might-come-back dept

I have to admit its interesting to see a once leader of the portal market, now trying to convince the public that they’re worth buying stocks in. Altavista, may well come back (as I believe the winner of the portal race has yet to be crowned, mentioned in a previous article) but it’s got to work a lot harder to gain back it’s appeal. I have to admit, just for pure managment style (and profitablity) Yahoo stands out in the portal market place. The big question is will the public give Altavista enough respect to back its IPO plans, maybe if their recent content plays works out!
