Re: the NeoPlanet discussion


I think this is a great idea, but there is a stumbling block which helpd

*push media* fall at the first hurdle - which is this. For people to take

advantage of it, they have to download software in the first place. Hence

the low market penetration (outside the US) of BackWeb and PointCast - not

to mention the problem of little local content. If it ain't on the free CD

then it hasn't got much chance of reaching some kind of decent market

share. Mind you, NeoPlanet is a small download, which is in its favour, but

it's a still that download problem that bothers me.


Has anyone heard any more about the WebStalker browser from I/O/D which

briefly appeared last year?
