ZDNET — Feb 16 — Jambo Networksusers start by registering and building a profile via the company's Web
site. Tell Jambo anything you might want other folks to know, such as
your alma mater, occupation or musical tastes, then Jambo assigns you
an ID number and provides software that works with a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
wireless networking connection. Jambo contracts with
organizations such as universities, trade show organizers and Wi-Fi
