...building a community--"maybe the most real community on the entire Web," says Whitman. There's no question people like hanging out in eBayland. The site gets more than 1.5 billion page visits a month. And at a time when the Internet mantra is "stickiness"--how long users stay on a website--eBay is cyberspace superglue. Each visitor to Amazon.com spends an average of 13 min. a month on the site. On eBay, each visitor's monthly average is about...

Terrorism's success is measured not by territory captured or casualties inflicted, but by the extent to which it's able to terrorize and demoralize its target population. Forcing Americans to stay away from millennial celebrations around the world, and even in their own home towns, is a psychological victory for the terrorist mastermind...
