Well, well, well.
Let me be the first to say deserters from Exactis.com are welcome. I'm wondering, do you still work for Infobeat. If so, would you care to comment about this #reply-11977402.
As I look over the client list of some of the channels, I notice they sometimes claim the same clients. I assume, different divisions within a client have different needs and therefore use the email server most appropriate. Or maybe e-commerce works best if built on redundancy, much like ISPs using more than one pipeline to the internet.
Anyway, I'm on record as saying Messagemedia (as with all the rest) has done little to educate the investors about their business. This redundancy among clients is just one example. How do we sort through all these apparent contradictions.
I mean, that last conference call, they basically asked investors to accept Messagemedia on the promise of 50% revenue gains over the next five quarters with little other information. Talk about a leap of faith! Messagemedia needs to open up a little and answer the questions put to them in the "straight shooting" John McCain kind of way, not in Clinton fashion. No I take that back, Larry's refusal to reveal the average number of daily messages was more of the "none of your g-damn business" Bush kind of way.
Ah, but there is redemption. Recall all those 144's we recently saw. Had Larry been a better spokes person, those sells could have been $20/shr or better. There you have it, what goes around comes around.
I can just see Dennis et al chewing on Larry's ears. Who knows, maybe we'll get straight answers to our questions next time around.
BTW, I'm wondering when we will get something out of COMDEX on Messagemedia. The week is about over. Those meetings aren't any fun if you can't walk in and get everybody excited when you break wind. |
