site had 3.8 million unique visitors per month, according to comScore's March 2009 data cited on the IAC website. IAC did not break out the revenue for iWon in its 10-K report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in March, but did say "the impairment at the Media & Advertising segment primarily resulted from the decline in revenue and profitability in IAC Search & Media's Excite, iWon and MyWay portals businesses." IAC declined to provide revenue or profit figures for iWon or discuss future plans for the site with the Standard.

Where Are They Now? The Industry Standard was unable to track down Jonas Steinman or Bill Daugherty. The two were involved in the $343 million Interactive Search Holdings acquisition by Ask Jeeves in 2004, and were "expected to be retained" after the takeover closed. IAC, which now owns both Ask and iWon, declined to answer any questions about Steinman or Daugherty when contacted by The Industry Standard, but described them as "former" executives.

 


Bill Daugherty cashed out and moved his family to a quiet life in New England.
