Dissecting the Excerpts from SI PM courtesy of Mark.

Over the next couple of weeks we will be building a new set of message boards called “Public Boards” that will include one new board dedicated to each U.S. ticker symbol.

With one post in three months on the active boards. Apparently no moderated boards. What is the problem SI is trying to solve?

Our business partners such as TheStreet.com will integrate these Public Boards into their sites.

Must be the free site. LOL! TSCM message boards are dead.

Their users will be able to read all the Silicon Investor boards and post to these Public Boards.

Let's see any one can read SI boards free and TSCM has no one post there anyways, so 0+0 = 0

We also plan make these Public Boards available on Silicon Investor.

JUst click there and viola your are in the land of OZ. thestreet.com

Premium Members (i.e. those of you who have paid or been grand fathered in as Premium Members) will have the option to view and post on these boards or, at your discretion, filter them out.

I hope the filter is easy to set up. The thing that bothers me is search function may have the public board posts show up with the cheerleading ala yahoo. Try researching a company using yahoo or raging bull's search function. Good luck.

Public SI members (i.e. those of you who have registered for free) will also be able to post on the Public Boards.

But why would they want to? Is this not another pale yellow version of yahoo.

Posting on the existing SI message boards will, of course be reserved for SI Premium Members only.

As it should be. If people wanted free boards, then Yahoo and RB is available. SI thankfully controls spam that yahoo and RB cannot. Also, SI has an inbox for premium members. This is the key feature worth paying for as well the ability to start a thread.
