Research company NetValue has partnered with comScore, a US-based

provider of database infrastructure services, to lead all sales and

marketing initiatives for the company's products in Asia, Europe and

South America.



The partnership will allow the two companies to share resources in

specific areas in order to enhance new and existing product lines.



NetValue will also have access to comScore's consumer panel in the US,

which the company said, "will provide significantly more depth and

granularity in data than any other internet measurement service".



Both companies will cross-license certain existing products to each

other.



NetValue will license comScore's patent pending technology, while

comScore will license NetValue Online.



The company will also invest resources to increase the size of its

international panel from its current size of 550,000 active users to

more than one million.



Separately, NetValue has reported that China's internet users have

warmed to Lycos, following its merger with Myrice.



The portal jumped from seventh most popular in March to fifth in April.
