	InfoSpace Dispute Gets Messier
		InfoSpace founder Naveen Jain, who is in a legal battle with the company he headed until late last year, resigned from its board over the weekend, using his emailed resignation letter to repeat accusations of "improprieties and illegal activities of [the] management team and certain board members," including the trading of votes for compensation deals.
		At the time, InfoSpace sued Jain and his new company, Intelius, alleging that Jain breached his contractual and fiduciary duties to InfoSpace.
		Jain and Intelius, which is also populated by other former InfoSpace employees, focused their startup on public records search, a business that InfoSpace says will violate Jain's noncompetition and confidentiality agreements with the company he started in 1996.

	CIOL : News : Bankers pitching InfoSpace as M&A target (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		This week InfoSpace introduced a new local search system for mobile phone users seeking links to nearby restaurants or entertainment, which the company is seeking to have major U.S. carriers incorporate into their new phones.
		But while InfoSpace is a recognized name in the Web search sector and its local search efforts are promising, analysts and bankers questioned whether it could become an "also-ran" as the competition rapidly adapts and intensifies.
		One source said InfoSpace, if it were sold, could go for similar multiples, which could make it worth anywhere from $1 billion to $1.5 billion depending on which of its businesses buyers think will be viable.

	The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: Dot-con job: How InfoSpace took its investors for a ride
		InfoSpace, half owned by Jain and his wife, was suddenly worth at least $400 million.
		By August 2000, MacLeod reported that wireless revenues from InfoSpace's Saraide purchase would limp in at $4 million in the fourth quarter, a far cry from the $17.5 million needed to "beat the street." In fact, InfoSpace's wireless business was such a bust that company insiders sarcastically called it "wireloss," a former company executive said.
		InfoSpace's lazy Susan and stock-warrant arrangement with netgenShopper were not the only questionable deals the company crafted during volatile 2000 as a way to create revenue, thereby fooling investors and shareholders.

		InfoSpace cuts deals with all sorts of content providers -- from white- and yellow-page services to weather forecasters to map providers to news services -- and offers that information as a packaged service to Web sites.
		InfoSpace and the wireless carrier would share a cut of the sale from customers that use the promotion.
		But if InfoSpace has an advantage, it's that the company is happy enough to be the obscure unit that runs the service in the background.

	USATODAY.com - InfoSpace bubble-era accounting highly complicated (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		InfoSpace's soaring stock price during the dot-com boom also allowed corporate executives, including founder Naveen Jain, to amass millions of dollars — on paper at least — leading to lavish spending sprees.
		The newspaper report says InfoSpace began using the complex accounting techniques in 2000, after executives realized that the company's futuristic business plan of selling weather reports, stock quotes and other content to cell phone users was not going to bring in the revenue hoped for.
		Shares in InfoSpace had already fallen with the bursting of the dot-com bubble, and the company was eager to make Wall Street expectations, The Times said.

	The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: InfoSpace shares crash as contract loss stated
		InfoSpace shares fell almost a third in value during extended trading yesterday after the Bellevue company warned investors that sales and profit would drop later this year because it lost a large contract and expected slimmer profits in its mobile-phone business.
		In a conference call with analysts yesterday, Voelker said the company lost a contract in which InfoSpace drove traffic to Verizon's online Yellow Pages listing, SuperPages.com.
		Although Verizon will continue with a pay-for-performance model, the subscription loss will translate to a $9 million decline in revenue for the second half of this year, Voelker said.
