| Internet's most recognized brands, is preparing to file for an initial public
| offering, perhaps as soon as late 2007. The offering could value the company
| at between $600 million and $1 billion, according to sources, and inject some
| pep into a tech IPO market that's seen only a handful of successful offerings
| in the past year. Credit Suisse (CS) is a top contender to lead the
| underwriting of the transaction, BusinessWeek has learned.
