     On September 26, 2000, Engage, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to which it disclosed
under Item 2 of Form 8-K that it had completed its acquisition of MediaBridge
Technologies, Inc. Upon further discussion with the Company's independent
auditors and completion of the purchase price valuation, the Company has
determined that its acquisition does not meet the significance tests under which
audited financial statements of MediaBridge Technologies, Inc. and related pro
forma financial statements would be required. Accordingly, the Company is
amending its previous filing in order to report its acquisition of MediaBridge
Technologies, Inc. under Item 5 of Form 8-K as follows:

Item 5.  Other Events.

     On September 11, 2000, Engage, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), completed its acquisition of MediaBridge Technologies, Inc., a
leading provider of cross-media closed loop targeted marketing systems
("MediaBridge"). The acquisition was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
of Merger, dated as of June 11, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the
Company, Engage Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, and MediaBridge.

     In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued approximately
11,741,100 shares of its common stock ("Merger Shares"). Additionally, the
Company has reserved approximately 2,500,000 shares of its common stock for
issuance upon exercise of stock options to purchase shares of the Company's
common stock (which stock options option holders received in exchange for stock
options to purchase MediaBridge common stock).

     Of the Merger Shares issued at the closing of the acquisition,
approximately 1,450,000 shares are being held in escrow for a period of at least
one year. These shares held in escrow are intended to secure the obligations of
the former MediaBridge stockholders to indemnify the Company under the Merger
Agreement.

     By virtue of the merger of MediaBridge and Engage Subsidiary, Inc.,
MediaBridge became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction is
intended to be tax-free under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and will be accounted for as a purchase.

     A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current
Report on 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the
Company's press release dated September 12, 2000 announcing the completion of
the acquisition is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on 8-K and is
incorporated herein by reference.
