(1) Includes  14,349,869  shares of common stock and 143,499  shares of Series H
Preferred  Stock  (convertible  in the  circumstances  described  below  into an
aggregate of  approximately  14,349,900  shares of common stock) (the "Preferred
Stock")  over which E&C holds an  irrevocable  proxy (the "Proxy  Shares").  The
proxy was granted to E&C pursuant to a  Stockholders'  Agreement dated September
1, 2004, by and among Paul Soltoff,  Eric Obeck,  Donald Gould, Harry Greene and
Irv and Nadine Brechner  (collectively,  the "Other Stockholders"),  the Issuer,
Dancing Bear Investments, Inc. ("DBI"), E&C, Michael S. Egan ("Egan") and Edward
Cespedes  ("Cespedes"  and  together  with  DBI,  E&C and  Egan,  the  "Existing
Stockholders")(the  "Stockholders'  Agreement").  Except as provided by law, the
Preferred  Stock will vote with the holders of common stock on all matters on an
"as-converted"  basis,  other than the increase in the  authorized  common stock
described  above  as to  which  it will  not  vote.  The  Preferred  Stock  will
automatically  convert  into shares of  theglobe's  common  stock on a 1 for 100
basis at such  time as the  Issuer  files an  amendment  to its  certificate  of
incorporation  with the  Delaware  Secretary  of State's  Office to increase its
authorized  shares of common stock from 200,000,000 to at least 300,000,000 (the
"Capital Amendment").  Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders' Agreement, E&C
was  granted an  irrevocable  proxy to vote the  foregoing  Proxy  Shares on all
matters (including the election of directors) other than with respect to certain
potential  affiliated  transactions  involving  Messrs.  Egan or  Cespedes,  the
Issuer's President.

(2) Does not include  Proxy Shares and certain  other  securities  of the Issuer
which  may  then  be  owned  by  the  Other   Stockholders  which  the  Existing
Stockholders may cause the Other Stockholders to sell pursuant to a "drag-along"
right granted to it and its affiliates pursuant to the Stockholders'  Agreement.
The  circumstances  under  which  the  Existing   Stockholders  may  cause  such
drag-along are beyond its present control and occur only in the event of certain
"Major Sales" or "Approved  Sales" (as defined in the  Stockholders'  Agreement)
involving the Issuer.

ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

     This Schedule 13D ("Schedule 13D") relates to common stock, par value $.001
("Common Stock"), of theglobe.com, inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer" or
the "Company"). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 110
East Broward Blvd., Suite 1400, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

(a)-(c) This Schedule 13D is filed on a joint basis pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) by
Dancing Bear  Investments,  Inc.,  a Florida  corporation  ("DBI"),  E&C Capital
Partners, LLLP, a Florida limited liability limited partnership ("E&C"), Michael
S. Egan ("Egan"),  Edward  Cespedes  ("Cespedes"  and together with DBI, E&C and
Egan,  the  "Existing  Stockholders"),  Paul  Soltoff  ("Soltoff"),  Eric  Obeck
("Obeck"),  Donald Gould ("Gould"),  Harry Greene ("Greene"), and Irv and Nadine
Brechner  ("Brechner",  and together  with  Messrs.  Soltoff,  Obeck,  Gould and
Greene, the "Other  Stockholders") (each a "Reporting  Person").  The address of
each of the Existing  Stockholders  is 110 East Broward  Boulevard,  14th Floor,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301 and the address of each of the Other Stockholders
is 877 Executive  Center Drive,  Suite 300, St.  Petersburg,  Florida 33702. Mr.
Egan is the  Chairman  and Chief  Executive  Officer of the Issuer and a private
investor.  Mr. Egan has a controlling interest in both DBI and E&C. Mr. Cespedes
is the President and a director of the Issuer,  Mr. Soltoff is a director of the
Issuer and each of the Other  Stockholders  are  officers  of SendTec,  Inc.,  a
subsidiary of the Issuer.

(d)-(e)  During the last five years,  none of the  Reporting  Persons  have been
convicted in a criminal  proceeding  (excluding  traffic  violations  or similar
misdemeanors),  or  been  a  party  to  a  civil  proceeding  of a  judicial  or
administrative  body  of  competent  decree  or  final  order  enjoining  future
violations  of, or prohibiting  or mandating  activities  subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f) Each of the individual Reporting Persons is a citizen of the United States.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

On September 1, 2004,  the Issuer closed an Agreement and Plan of Merger whereby
it acquired via a merger transaction,  SendTec, Inc. ("SendTec") (the "Merger").
Except for certain  shares  acquired  within the last 60 days as noted in Item 5
(c) below,  all of the securities of the Issuer owned by the Other  Stockholders
were acquired in connection with the Merger in  consideration  of the securities
which such Stockholders formerly owned in SendTec.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

As part of the  Merger,  the  Reporting  Persons  entered  into a  Stockholders'
Agreement dated as of September 1, 2004 (the  "Stockholders'  Agreement").  This
Schedule  13D relates  solely to certain  rights  granted to E&C pursuant to the
Stockholders'  Agreement,  a copy of which is included in this filing as Exhibit
2. Except as expressly  provided  herein with respect to certain of the Existing
Stockholders, there are no other relationships or understandings with respect to
the vote or  disposition of any of the securities of the Issuer among any of the
Reporting  Persons nor does any Reporting Person have any pecuniary  interest in




                                                                   PAGE 19 OF 23


any of the securities of the Issuer of another Reporting Person. Pursuant to the
terms of the  Stockholders'  Agreement,  E&C was granted an irrevocable proxy to
vote 14,349,869  shares of common stock and 143,499 shares of Series H Preferred
Stock  (convertible  in the  circumstances  described below into an aggregate of
approximately 14,349,900 shares of common stock) (the "Preferred Stock"). Except
as provided  by law,  the  Preferred  Stock will vote with the holders of common
stock on all matters on an "as-converted"  basis, other than the increase in the
authorized  common  stock  described  above as to which  it will not  vote.  The
Preferred  Stock will  automatically  convert into shares of  theglobe's  common
stock on a 1 for 100 basis at such time as the Issuer  files an amendment to its
certificate of  incorporation  with the Delaware  Secretary of State's Office to
increase  its  authorized  shares of common stock from  200,000,000  to at least
300,000,000   (the   "Capital   Amendment").   Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the
Stockholders'  Agreement, E&C may vote the foregoing Proxy Shares on all matters
(including  the  election  of  directors)  other  than with  respect  to certain
potential  affiliated  transactions  involving  Messrs.  Michael  Egan or Edward
Cespedes, the Issuer's President.

The  Stockholders'  Agreement also grants other rights to various parties to the
agreement, including:

          (i) granting the  Existing  Stockholders  the right to cause the Other
Stockholders to sell the Proxy Shares and certain other securities of the Issuer
which  may  then  be  owned  by  them  pursuant  to a  "drag-along"  right.  The
circumstances  under which the Existing  Stockholders  may cause such drag-along
are beyond its  present  control  and occur only in the event of certain  "Major
Sales" or "Approved Sales" (as defined in the Stockholders' Agreement) involving
the Issuer;

         (ii)  granting  the  Other  Stockholders  the  a  preemptive  right  to
participate in certain future sales of securities by the Issuer;

         (iii)  granting  the Other  Stockholders  the right to  participate  on
certain major sales  (generally,  at least 20% of their  holdings) of the common
stock owned by the Existing Stockholders; and

         (iv)  granting the Existing  Stockholders  a right of first  refusal on
certain major  dispositions  (involving at least 10 million shares) of the Other
Stockholders' shares.

The Other  Stockholders  also agreed not to transfer any of their  securities of
the Issuer for a period of one year, with certain exceptions.  The Stockholders'
Agreement  has a term of 5 years  subject  to  earlier  termination  in  certain
events,  including  the  occurrence of a Change of Control,  as defined,  or the
reduction of the aggregate  holdings of the Existing  Stockholders  or the Other
Stockholders below certain stated thresholds.

Mr. Egan (whom  controls  E&C) is,  together  with his  affiliates,  the largest
stockholder  of the Issuer and the Chairman and Chief  Executive  Officer of the
Issuer.  The purpose of the grant of the Proxy was to  continue  and enhance Mr.
Egan's  influence over the direction and policies of the Issuer.  Other than the
transactions  contemplated  by the Merger and as reported by the Issuer pursuant
to its Report on From 8-K dated September 7, 2004, the Reporting Persons are not
aware of any plans or  proposals  which the  Reporting  Persons  may have  which
relate to or would result in:





                                                                   PAGE 20 OF 23


(a) the acquisition by any person of additional  securities of the Issuer or the
disposition of securities of the Issuer.

(b) an extraordinary corporate transaction,  such as a merger, reorganization or
liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries.

(c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of
its subsidiaries.

(d) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure.

(e) any material change in the present  capitalization or dividend policy of the
Issuer other than as described herein.

(f) any other material changes in the Issuer's business or corporate structure.

(g) any changes in the Issuer's  charter,  bylaws or  instruments  corresponding
thereto or other  actions  which may impede  the  acquisition  or control of the
Issuer by any person.

(h) the  securities  of the Issuer to be  delisted  from a  national  securities
exchange  or to  cease  to be  authorized  or to be  quoted  in an  inter-dealer
quotation system of a registered national securities association.

(i) in a  class  of  equity  securities  of the  Issuer  becoming  eligible  for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act.

(j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
