NEWS US sausage skin and fishmeal company, Zapata is moving back onto the Web, marking its second policy U-turn in a year. The firm is to relaunch its portal site, http://www.zap.com and open a Star Wars-inspired site at http://www.phantommenacenews.com. Last year, the company proposed to buy or invest in over 30 Internet companies, only to pull out in October when Internet stocks started to collapse.
