Hi Seconds

Thanks for the thoughts. There is an old saying "The first step to being successful is looking successful". Marketing and perception are extremely important for a company in the EARLY stages.

Anyway, do you remember the "Pet Rock" of the '70's. Do you think that people ran out in masses and bought rocks because they desperately needed them? Rocks are free - you could walk out your door and pick them off the ground - so why did people run out in droves and create this multi-million dollar craze? Because of the marketing - not the product. You can have the worlds greatest product but if you don't have smarts to market it correctly - you will have nothing. And that is my fear with GMGC - the PR department stinks, no shows to tout their stuff, an out dated web site etc. GMGC should be out creating a frenzy that says people can not live without voice activated products. Portico should have created a bigger craze than a "Pet Rock".

I enjoy the conversation and am not selling.
