CLICKZ -- Oct 4 -- Lycos launches "social interaction platform" Planet, adapted from an offering by corporate parent Daum Communications. Users can create a mini site, or "planet," without any HTML coding; blog, photo upload, slide shows. The U.S. version of Planet is being launched on Lycos' Angelfire community, made up of 10 million teens and young adults, and Tripod with 12 million users. Daum has been successful with its version of Planet in Korea, building up more than 8 million users in the first year. Terra sold off its U.S. operations to South Korean online media group Daum Communications last August for a paltry $545 million. Lycos launched Circles in October 2004, but discontinued it a few months later. Lycos then launched a dating search engine. FULL ARTICLE @ CLICKZ
