Excite UK Rises From The Dead

Excite UK (www.excite.co.uk) is now back online, since being bought by Tiscali, the Italian based European ISP.

It's database is currently fed by FAST, who also serve Lycos and AllTheWeb, among others. Whether this is a permanent arangement, or whether the Excite spider will be similarly resurrected remains to be seen.

For those who remeber the collapse of Infoseek.com a couple of years ago, this may all seem a little familiar. Infoseek never regained the ground it lost during its difficult times. Tiscali will be hoping that Excite's brand does not suffer the same fate.
