                INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

     The following documents filed by ConnectInc.com, Co. (the "Registrant")
with the Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated by reference into
this Registration Statement:

     (a)  The Registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K405 (as amended)
filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

     (b)  All other reports filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the annual report
referred to in (a) above.

     (c)  The description of the Registrant's Common Stock which is contained in
the registration statement filed under the Exchange Act, including any amendment
or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

     All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part of this
registration statement from the date of the filing of such reports and
documents.

                    INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     The legality of the Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for the
Company by Cooley Godward LLP, Palo Alto, California ("Cooley Godward").  As of
the date of this prospectus, Cooley Godward held a warrant to purchase 35,000
shares of the Registrant's Common Stock.  Alan C. Mendelson, a partner of Cooley
Godward, is the secretary of the Registrant.

                   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant
has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities
they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act. The Registrant's Bylaws also provide that the Registrant will indemnify its
directors and officers and may indemnify its employees and other agents to the
fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law.

     The Registrant's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides for the elimination of liability for monetary damages for breach of the
directors' fiduciary duty of care to the Registrant and its stockholders. These
provisions do not eliminate the directors' duty of care and, in appropriate
circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-
monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each
director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Registrant, for acts or omissions not in good faith or
involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, and
for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that
are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision does not affect a director's
responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws.

     The Registrant has entered into agreements with its directors and executive
officers that require the Registrant to indemnify such persons to the fullest
extent permitted by Delaware law, including against expenses, judgments, fines,
settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including
expenses of a derivative action) in connection with any proceeding, whether
actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of
the fact that such person is or was a director or executive officer of the
Registrant or any of its affiliated enterprises.  No indemnification will be
available if such indemnification is unlawful, or in respect of any accounting
of profits made from the purchase or sale of securities of the Registrant in
violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  The indemnification agreements
also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for
indemnification thereunder.

          form of stock option agreement



                                 UNDERTAKINGS

     1.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     a.   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

          i.   To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;

          ii.  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement.

          iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs 1(a)(i) and 1(a)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

     b.   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

                                       2.
<PAGE>

     c.   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     2.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     3.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                       3.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

     The following documents filed by ConnectInc.com, Co. (the "Registrant")
with the Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated by reference into
this Registration Statement:

     (a)  The Registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K405 (as amended)
filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

     (b)  All other reports filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the annual report
referred to in (a) above.

     (c)  The description of the Registrant's Common Stock which is contained in
the registration statement filed under the Exchange Act, including any amendment
or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

     All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part of this
registration statement from the date of the filing of such reports and
documents.

                    INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     The legality of the Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for the
Company by Cooley Godward LLP, Palo Alto, California ("Cooley Godward").  As of
the date of this prospectus, Cooley Godward held a warrant to purchase 35,000
shares of the Registrant's Common Stock.  Alan C. Mendelson, a partner of Cooley
Godward, is the secretary of the Registrant.

                   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant
has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities
they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act. The Registrant's Bylaws also provide that the Registrant will indemnify its
directors and officers and may indemnify its employees and other agents to the
fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law.

     The Registrant's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides for the elimination of liability for monetary damages for breach of the
directors' fiduciary duty of care to the Registrant and its stockholders. These
provisions do not eliminate the directors' duty of care and, in appropriate
circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-
monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each
director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Registrant, for acts or omissions not in good faith or
involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, and
for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that
are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision does not affect a director's
responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws.

     The Registrant has entered into agreements with its directors and executive
officers that require the Registrant to indemnify such persons to the fullest
extent permitted by Delaware law, including against expenses, judgments, fines,
settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including
expenses of a derivative action) in connection with any proceeding, whether
actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of
the fact that such person is or was a director or executive officer of the
Registrant or any of its affiliated enterprises.  No indemnification will be
available if such indemnification is unlawful, or in respect of any accounting
of profits made from the purchase or sale of securities of the Registrant in
violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  The indemnification agreements
also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for
indemnification thereunder.

99.1      1999 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors and Advisors, and
          form of stock option agreement

                                 UNDERTAKINGS

     1.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     a.   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

          i.   To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;

          ii.  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement.

          iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs 1(a)(i) and 1(a)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

     b.   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

                                       2.
c.   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     2.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     3.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                       3.
