A note about the venture capital. The LA Times reports it as $17 million, $13 million of that from Softbank. NetworkWorld a few months later has the initial round as $30 million, which makes me wonder if maybe the reporter misheard "thirteen" as "thirty". If so, it's not clear to me if the implied second round ($18 to $20 million) reflects a smaller cash infusion - in which case the number is probably the total venture capital invested, period - or if it was a full round of additional investment in anticipation of the IPO (also plausible in the context of the inflated valuations being discussed). --Michael Snow (talk) 19:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I moved this article to match the title of the companies it later became to avoid confusion. There is another USWeb on the internet which is not the same company as listed here. I made the title more specific to this company in this article which is a defunct bankrupt company. Octoberwoodland (talk) 05:52, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
