Now, 2006 as we all know was a tough year for InfoSpace. Early 2007 was blessed with a Virgin renewal and then a new partnership with Fastsearch and now AT&T (Cingular) have renewed. Things are looking up. There is a long way to go; but things are definitely improving for a company that has had its new clothes stolen away from it in front of a gruesome crowd.

In fact, only the other day I was reading an article on “what went wrong” for InfoSpace. But that was then and this is now and it’s time for InfoSpace to refocus and move on.

Media Net is a great service and a strong one to have on any company portfolio. Last week in the US – I got very close to Infospace services. At the Orange Partner Camp I downloaded the Infospace Find It service on a Blackberry and it rocked. Then I purchased a Cingular Go phone and initially I was disappointed but after a while I was extremely impressed. With MediaNet InfoSpace can bring a lot more to the party. Its close relationship with Fastsearch can be extended and an Alltel style Celltop service could be in the pipeline.
