Snap! Inks Deal with Inktomi
Software firm Inktomi has inked a partnership with Web-based
online service Snap to power the service's search function. The agreement
calls for Inktomi to provide its technology for Web searches that extend
beyond Snap's directory. San Mateo, California-based Inktomi replaces search
firm Infoseek as Snap's exclusive search provider.
The terms of the three-year agreement require
Snap to pay Inktomi on a per-query basis, said CNET spokeswoman Karen Wood.
In return, Snap will receive advertising revenue by delivering ad banners
on each query page, she added.
