Email Alert Internet Daily for Thursday, October 25, 2001 by Frank Barnako CBS MarketWatch.com Web 'Wayback machine' switched on An archive of 10 billion Web pages, dating back to 1996, has been launched at web.archive.org. "We created the archive in 1996 because we felt it was critical to preserve a permanent record of this historically significant new medium for the public," said founder Brewster Kahle. The project, developed in conjunction with the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution, made its official debut Wednesday night at the University of California at Berkeley. It will assist researchers and people "who just want to see how the media and our culture marked important historical events," said Paul Grabowicz, an assistant dean at the university. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Anthrax attacks see Web use boost The president of America Online told a suburban Washington, D.C., audience that anthrax attacks against the U.S. postal system are likely to boost Internet use. "It's incredibly positive for the Internet," Raymond Oglethorpe said at a breakfast sponsored by the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce, the Washington Post reported. He quickly added the recent events were "unfortunate." Oglethorpe also said the terrorist attacks have hurt revenue for the AOL Time Warner subsidiary because the market for online advertising "has absolutely gone away," the Post reported. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Online travel: up in the air Travel service etailers are waiting to see if the nation's Big Three air carriers -- Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and American Airlines -- follow Continental Airlines in the latter's unexpected move to eliminate commissions on sales completed through the Internet. Northwest Airlines took the same step in March. Online travel market analyst Lorraine Silleo of PhoCusWright was puzzled by Continental's decision, according to a Los Angeles Times report. "You would think the airlines would want to work with as many distribution outlets as possible right now to fill their seats, not take them away," she told the newspaper. But she also expects etravel firms such as Expedia and Travelocity.com will negotiate agreements with the airlines enabling them to make bookings and charge fees. ----------------------------------------------------------------- For late-breaking market news you can't afford to miss, go to http://CBS.MarketWatch.com/ ================================================================ LOGIN to access your account: https://investing.schwab.com/trading/start ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe or modify your Email Alert customization options, log in using the link below or copy and paste it into your browser's address window: https://investing.schwab.com/trading/start?SANC=EAMyAlerts ---------------------------------------------------------------- Notice: All email sent to or from the Charles Schwab corporate email system may be retained, monitored and/or reviewed by Schwab personnel.
