Size of the internet economy?
Lately, I heard (somewhere) that $250 million changed hands directly on the net in 1994, mostly credit cards. Is this a real number? Where did it come from? What are estimates for 1995?

Forrester sites 250 million retail and $90 million in content revenues. By contrast, guys selling a piece of pipe raked in $1.5 billion.
Activmedia - www.activmedia.com - does regular surveys. I just got a breathless press release for their latest one - "WEB COMMERCE UP 1900%." Someone must have bought tickets the lastest George Forman comeback fight or something from a ticketron on-line kiosk. . . Ole, Peter
