Dave,

    When I first typed in "jewelry" into Yahoo in 1994, I got 60 sites.
    Today, I got 10 million. That's a big change in a very short period
    of time, and you are absolutely right that it has forced us all to
    re-evaluate what the Web means to us. I think your observations
    about your site's power are right on target, as is your point about
    marketing. It's no longer about marketing you site. It's about
    marketing your jewelry, and a Web site can be a useful tool in your
    tool box.  But that's all it is, a tool. 

    I'm still waiting for the Internet to change everything, as the
    tech-stock gurus promised in 1994. For that matter, I'm still
    waiting for it to make print journalism obsolete, as I was assured it
    would by now. <G>
