Short Take: Egghead, USA.net do email push deal

Web-based email provider USA.net and Egghead Computer have formed an alliance to offer information and discounts "pushed" to USA.net's NetAddress subscribers who request it. Subscribers can register for news and product information to be pushed to their email boxes, and the Egghead deal also will feature discounts to NetAddress users, the companies said. Egghead's Net properties also include Surplus Direct and Surplus Auction.
