ONLINE NEWS & NOTES: BROADCAST.COM GETTING COMPANY ONLINE

          In what analysts view as a challenge to Broadcast.com,
     MA-based CMGI is investing $100M to start a Web-based
     broadcasting company delivering video feeds to be run by
     former NBC Exec Neil Braun (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 2/18).
          ONLINE NOTES: MindSpring, the ISP for Jeff Gordon's Web
     site at www.jeffgordon.com, added 16.5 billion bytes of
     bandwidth to the site during NASCAR's Speedweeks to keep up
     with the increase of traffic.  The site's traffic before and
     after the Daytona 500 was four times the normal traffic that
     occurred during Speedweeks, as the number of hits rose to
     67,000 and 53,000, respectively, compared to Speedweeks'
     average of about 13,500 an hour (MindSpring)....adidas
     launches the second of several Internet features focusing on
     Lakers G Kobe Bryant tomorrow.  The feature, available at
     www.adidas.com/kobe, asks Bryant some "psychological"
     questions and allows users to take the same test and compare
     their answers to Bryant's (adidas).
