RealNetworks Soars After AOL Deal
By Justin Dini
TheStreet.com/NYTimes.com Staff Reporter
7/13/00 11:39 AM ET



Shares in RealNetworks (RNWK:Nasdaq - news) surges Thursday after the company said that America Online (AOL:NYSE - news) will deploy its Internet media software, RealSystem 8, throughout its network, enabling AOL to provide users more interactive and broadband entertainment.

Under a pact between the companies, Dulles, Va.-based AOL will also include a part of the software, which is used for broadcasting rich audio and video over the Internet, in its AOL 6.0 service due out later this year to deliver a multi-platform media player using RealPlayer's streaming media technology.



Terms of the pact were not disclosed, though The Wall Street Journal reported that it is worth between $20 million and $29 million to Seattle-based RealNetworks.

"With AOL's more than 23 million members and outstanding content base, working closely with AOL is a fantastic opportunity for RealNetworks,'' said Rob Glaser, founder and CEO of RealNetworks, in a statement. "Through this agreement we have not only enabled the largest single Internet population in the world to experience the compelling audio and VHS video quality of RealSystem 8, but we have also made fundamental and substantial progress toward realizing our vision of the Internet as the next mass medium.''

RealNetworks shares jumped 5 11/16, or 12%, to 52 7/16 in midday trading. AOL inched up as well, climbing 1 1/16, or 2%, to 58.

Under the agreement, the RealPlayer will be distributed with AOL's Netscape browser and through Netcenter. RealNetworks will also distribute Spinner, the free Web radio player based on RealPlayer technology, as well as bundling software with its RealPlayer that lets users sign up for the AOL service.

Hi Povlie
It's been said before but this one's for you...

F - by Rudyard Kipling



If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting;

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating;

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;



If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;



If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";



If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings- nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Afternoon Tom,

Your reply to Keith ranks up there with the best you have ever posted. It is a simple straight forward most common sense strategy that is the logical course to follow. Everyone should print it out and tape it to their monitor and refer to it when in doubt of what to do.

Thanks for the WOW and have a great trip. Let's do the golf thing maybe the weekend after you get back.

Later,
Joel
