Excite to lay off 380 employees

ISP Excite@Home is to slash its workforce for the second time this year as a result of the slowing online advertising market.

The ISP will cut 13% of its staff, or 380 employees, mostly from its online media operations including the Excite.com portal and online greeting card company Bluemountain.com.

Last week, the company reported a widened first-quarter operating loss of $61.64m (£42.86m).
