THIS WIMBLEDON RIVALRY LEADS TO COMPETING WEB SITES

          NY-based interactive agency MHM Internet has created     Wimbledon.com "to challenge the official IBM site" at     Wimbledon.org, according to a report in the DETROIT NEWS.      MHM Internet "calls itself a direct competitor rather than     an alternative.  Through its sports division, called purple     SPORT, MHM Internet says it is challenging IBM as main     provider of high profile sports sites on the Web, having     created some IBM sites in the past at Wimbledon" (DETROIT     NEWS, 6/23).  Wimbledon.com notifies browsers on its home     page that the "unofficial" Wimbledon "site is in no way     connected to the All England Club.  Please take care when     viewing this site if you are of nervous disposition.  This     is Grand Slam tennis, after all."  The site offers a full     listing of tournament info, including history, results, news     and an interactive and links area.  Wimbledon.org, the     official site of the All England Club, handled by IBM,     includes all of the above, but includes full player     interviews and an extensive merchandise section (THE DAILY).
