 PROFILE
URL? What's a URL? RealNames' Keyword technology allows surfers to navigate the Web using common words instead of traditional (and often cumbersome) addresses. Instead of typing in a 48-character URL, for example, a user can enter "Volkswagen" and be taken directly to the car's Web page. The technology, which Microsoft has integrated into its Internet Explorer browser, is supported by AltaVista, the GO Network, and Microsoft Network (MSN) sites. Clients pay RealNames licensing and per-visit fees to register their brand names as keywords. Microsoft owns a stake in RealNames; other shareholders include venture capital firms Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Clearstone Venture Partners (formerly idealab! Capital Partners).
