<Cosmoz.com recognizes that several investment forum services have message boards on the same stocks, but investors generally go to the most active message boards first, such as SiliconInvestor.com which is owned by Go2Net (Nasdaq:GNET - news) and RagingBull.com which is partly owned by CMGI Inc., (Nasdaq:CMGI - news). One of the Company's strategies is to use MBmagic's turnkey solution to pool the message board traffic from hundreds of financial websites into the same stock forums thereby creating the Largest Online Investment Message Board Service.>

That's a very interesting concept. Can Cosmoz.com (or Mbmagic) actually run a message board that aggregates the messages on all the big boards (Silicon Investor, Yahoo, Raging Bull, Motley Fool, ClearStation, et al) in real time? Can they insert messages from Mbmagic back to the originating message board so that a dialog can occur? Will they have 'subject mark' and 'in box' pages (that make SI so much more effective than Yahoo)? Are there copyright restrictions or board ownership issues that will defeat Mbmagic's great intentions?

I wish Cosmoz/Mbmagic the best of luck because if they succeed, they create the 'mother' of all message boards. Realistically, I don't think they have the talent or the money to pull it off. But 'show me' and I'm all for it. And I'll get long in CMOZ once more, because the stock should soar beyond all current expectations if it works. But will it work? I hope you'll all excuse me if I don't hold my breath.
