 PROFILE
Formed by a partnership between Excite@Home and Dow Jones & Company, Work.com offered information, services, and tools for businesspeople. The company stopped work in March 2001, however, shutting down amid a weak advertising market. (Rival Business.com bought the Work.com URL.) Work.com targeted Internet users at small to midsized businesses with content from the Dow Jones news service and WSJ.com, market research, business applications (e-mail, file sharing), vertical industry communities, and services such as customer relationship management and Web site hosting. The company merged Dow Jones' vertical portal for businesspeople with Excite@Home's business channel, which was created by its @Work unit.
