OK, Ken... Let's talk stock options. I'll have to give IB a look. Are they public?
Never mind... I found the S-1 filing already... Have a look?
They were a little off from the index today, but they just laid out the big bucks to acquire FTE. I'm interested and optimistic.
That's not them. They aren't publically traded yet.

When doing our chapter meets, etc. do we need to refer to IB along with Ford-Trucks.Com or FTE?
Each site will continue to run as a independent entity --- you can reference only FTE if you wish. This community is and will continue to be FTE.

Monday, July 23, 2007 Internet Brands Files For IPO
El Segundo-based Internet Brands has filed for an IPO, saying in a filing with the SEC late Friday that it is looking to raise up to $100M in an IPO on either the NASDAQ Global Market or New York Stock Exchange. The IPO is being underwritten by Credit Suisse and Thomas Weisel Partners. InternetBrands operates a network of vertically focused web sits, including CarsDirect.com, Wikitravel, and ApartmentRatings.com. The firm said in its filing that it generated revenues of $84.8M in 2006. Internet Brands has received funding from Idealab, Foundation Capital, and Clearstone Ventures; Idealab owns about 32% of the company. posted on Monday, July 23, 2007
INTERNET BRANDS, INC. (positioning statement) Our Websites We offer a broad selection of websites and services focused in our three vertical categories: automotive, travel and leisure and home and home improvement.
So really, it all looks good! They are a solid business embarking on an IPO, and they have all of us too! Please keep us informed on the progress of the IPO. NO INSIDER INFORMATION, PLEASE! Just a post concurrent with the press releases will be a great benefit.
You showed a chart for Interline Brands, not Internet Brands, but yes the filing is correct.
