ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS


         On June 26, 2000, Media Metrix, Inc. ("Media Metrix"), MMX Acquisition
Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Media Metrix ("Merger Sub"), and Jupiter
Communications, Inc. ("Jupiter") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which it has been agreed that Merger Sub
will be merged with and into Jupiter (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger,
each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Jupiter issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger will be
converted into the right to receive 0.946 shares of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of Media Metrix.

         A copy of the press release announcing the execution of the Merger
Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference.

         In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain
stockholders of both Media Metrix and Jupiter have entered into Voting
Agreements (and have granted proxies) to vote in favor of the Merger and against
certain other matters (the "Voting Agreements").

         The Merger is intended to constitute a reorganization under Section
368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to be accounted for
as a purchase transaction. Consummation of the Merger is subject to various
conditions, including, among other things, receipt of the necessary approvals of
the stockholders of Jupiter and Media Metrix and certain regulatory approvals.

         The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Voting
Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be
complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger
Agreement and the Voting Agreements, copies of which will be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") at a later date in an appropriate
filing.

         All stockholders should read the joint proxy statement/prospectus
concerning the Merger that will be filed with the SEC and mailed to
stockholders. The joint proxy statement/prospectus will contain important
information that stockholders should consider before making any decision
regarding the Merger. You will be able to obtain the joint proxy
statement/prospectus, as well as other filings containing information about
Media Metrix and Jupiter, without charge, at the SEC's Internet site
(http://www.sec.gov). Copies of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and the SEC
filings that will be incorporated by reference in the joint proxy
statement/prospectus will also be available, without charge, by contacting the
Secretary of the appropriate company.
