Article Abstract:

Kodak is teaming up with Intel in a three-year, $150-million joint marketing move and launch of a new product, Picture CD. Picture CD, made up of software and digital images of regular film photographs, allows consumers to convert photos into digital images that can be transmitted electronically through the Internet. The technology is currently under testing in Salt Lake City, UT, and Indianapolis, IN. Picture CD, which will be initially priced at around $8 or $9, could bring revenues of as much as $100 million in the first year of offering, said Kodak chairman George Fisher.

Microsoft action focuses on building Net portal

Article Abstract:

Microsoft has launched a $18.5 million advertising campaign to support its plans to build its MSN.com as a profitable Internet portal brand name. The campaign, which was created by Anderson and Lembke of San Francisco, CA, will include radio, newspaper, and Internet advertisements. The company will unify under the brand name all of its Internet services including Hotmail e-mail, Expedia travel and CarPoint auto buying. However, analysts believe that the plans of the company may not be enough to dislodge established portals like Yahoo.
