In three and a half years at Lycos, I worked on a variety of web site destinations and associated projects. Below are links to the sites, screen shots, and applications I worked on.
Marketing Manager - Personal Publishing
As Marketing Manager, I was responsible for the management of all consumer facing marketing communications including advertising, public relations, promotions and email/direct marketing for the Homepage building services Tripod and Angelfire. In addition, I was involved in marketing research and brand equity research studies for these properties along with some loyalty programs aimed at Tripod's best web page builders.

Product Manager - Broadband, Multimedia & Mobile Services
As Product Manager, I was responsible for the Lycos VideoCenter (a precursor to YouTube that was ahead of the market and not nearly as popular), the Lycos Network's Streaming Video Player, and Lycos' wireless portal website Lycos Anywhere. In addition to these assigned products and services, the Multimedia & Mobile Services team was driving several "forward looking" initiatives and projects including streaming pay-per-view video, live video webcasts, and broadband gaming, of which I had some exposure to.
Lycos Video Center Screenshots - An innovative service that enabled users to create, edit and share personal streaming video with friends and family. the service was in existence from August 2000 through October 2001, when the partner went out of business due to market conditions beyond my control.
Lycos Video Player Screen Shots - The Lycos Network's standard streaming media platform application used by various Lycos destinations to deliver and display streaming media. Below are some examples of different destinations utilizing the video player. In addition to the examples below, I also released the player for the Lycos Finance and LycosZone Kids destinations while working at Lycos. Since I left the company, the business decision was made to remove the Lycos Finance execution, while the entire LycosZone Kids destination was shut down all together.
