Item 8.01. Other Events

On October 4, 2005, Sprint Communications Company, L.P. (“Sprint”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas against theglobe.com, inc. (“theglobe”), our subsidiary, voiceglo Holdings, inc. (“Voiceglo”), and Vonage Holdings Corp. (“Vonage”). Neither the Company nor Voiceglo has any affiliation with Vonage. Sprint alleges that Voiceglo has made unauthorized use of “inventions” described and claimed in seven patents held by Sprint. Sprint seeks monetary and injunctive relief for this alleged infringement. Voiceglo has not yet responded to the complaint. The complaint does not specify which claimed “inventions” allegedly have been used by Voiceglo or what specific activity of Voiceglo is alleged to infringe the asserted patents. It is not possible to predict the outcome of this litigation with any certainty or whether a decision adverse to theglobe or Voiceglo would have a material adverse affect on our developing VoIP business and the financial condition, results of operations, and prospects of theglobe generally.
