Intermediaries= Also called "aggregators," these sites pull together goods and services from many individual companies. Example: Catalog City, the Yahoo Shopping Channel.

Supermediaries= An online superstore that gathers together virtually every product in a given category. Example: CDNow.

Metamediaries= Form "metamarkets" -- markets that cannot be created in the real world. For instance, the act of buying a home is actually a series of transactions -- securing the help of an agent, shopping for a mortgage, choosing a
neighborhood, getting a home inspection, buying the home itself, moving furniture, buying home furnishing, etc. In the real world, you must do each in turn, separately. In cyberspace, all those services can be brought together into one convenient metamarketplace. Example: Microsoft's Home
Advisor.

Indimediaries= The previous examples create "one-to-many" markets. Indimediaries facilitate "one-to-one" commerce. They connect two individuals, one who wants to sell and the other who wants to buy. Then they take a small fee for the
service. Online auctions and classifieds are examples. Example: ZDNet Auctions

Communimediaries= Also called "experience communities," these sites let people combine their know-how and/or their buying power. The customers run the show, trading information on which products to buy and what prices to pay. Example: portions of Motley Fool.

Infomediaries= These sites store information about buyers and their preferences. Then they match buyers to products -- without revealing the buyers' identities. It's the commercial equivalent of a dating service. Example: DoubleClick, Lumeria

Experts estimate the average family will save $1,100 a year thanks to these Web middlemen.
