Food for thought.

Internet stocks like AMZN, EBAY, YHOO, etc. all have "head starts" in their respective arenas. However, it could be argued that this is not a great advantage in a medium where the audience is doubling every sixty days or so. In other words, brand loyalty is not really a factor.

EGOV, on the other hand, is uniquely positioned in that it has a "head start" in the only internet arena where a head start really matters - government. As a resident of Georgia, I have dozens (maybe hundreds) of e-commerce sites, auction sites and search engines from which to chose. But if I want to access Georgia State Government, I have two choices.
1. Drive to Atlanta, fight for a parking place, stand in a long line.
2. Use EGOV.

Seems like a no brainer, doesn't it?
