FiTi: "Pobox and the magic cookie." Which company will have the greatest effect on the development of the Internet this year? My answer is neither Microsoft nor Netscape. It is a tiny new company called Pobox.com. Its product consists of a simple forwarding service that is an electronic equivalent of a post office box. This service allows people to give out an e-mail address that is independent of where they work or where they choose to buy Internet access. COP_box
