A search engine for message boards could be useful in this scenario.

You're right. It could be useful. But if you search for INTC, will you come up with 168 message boards or with 27,563 hits on individual messages. It would be preferable to see 168 message boards and then see how many INTC messages are on each board. But I think it's too much to expect and not within the scope of Cosmoz's press release.

Now what would be supremely useful is a search engine that finds all the stock newsletters on the net (not just message boards) that mention INTC. Add to that, an engine that will search all the newspaper content on the net for INTC and also should convert the stock symbol to the company name for an additional search round. For small-cap stocks, it's the hometown local newspaper stories that give you advanced warning of any developments that will have a major impact on share price.

I can wish and dream, but I know Cosmoz.com is not the company that will bring my wish-list to reality.
