Hey everyone I'm back! :) Not a bad idea about spreading the word around about WCTI on general threads, just don't do it on EBAY or YHOO. I was suspended from posting for two days because I had posted comparisons of WCTI to that of YHOO. They saw this as hyping, however I tend to disagree as I gave good factual information and was very unbiased. Anyways, hey does anyone know why the thread was moved from Web/Information stocks back to $5 and Under?? I do believe we are still above $5. No respect!

Also, I have some great news to share with everyone. I called WCTI this past Monday afternoon, and had emailed Ken Bell (CFO of WCTI) as well. He returned my call the same day and we had a 5-10 minute discussion. In particular, I asked him about e-commerce being tied into the "Spyhop" website. He basically alluded to the fact that WordCruncher would be outsourced to e-commerce type companies like EBAY for use on their websites. I wasn't quite sure what he meant exactly, but it seemed to me that e-commerce companies would be able to provide users with the ability to search for their products in a fast and efficient manner.. Maybe they would even be able to search across multiple companies acting as a joint venture (EBAY, AMZN, ONSL). So that if one on-line distributor didn't have the product, then they would get linked to another site that did. Anyways, he did say that it was in the works for the future. Also, he said that WCTI was working very hard to try and get listed on NASDAQ ASAP. He said that they may be ready as early as next month, and then it would just be a matter of getting all the paper work complete (paraphrased, but very close to what Ken Bell told me). He said that he had seen/heard that some people (investors) are hoping that they get listed simultaneously to their Feb. rollout of WordCruncher (Spyhopper). I wonder if he's read some of this thread.. :) Because this was mentioned by someone on here a couple of days ago. Hmmmm... He also said that Feb. release will be basically the "search engine", and that they were expecting to release a later version with more bells and whistles in April. He said that the later version would probably have things along the lines of free email, chat rooms, message boards, etc...
I asked him about the CNBC and MSNBC rumors, and he did say that it was in the works, but that no date had been confirmed. As far as advertising goes, he said that they were going through ad brokers like DoubleClick to get the ball rolling. He was very cordial, and very willing to answer my questions.. Someone on here said earlier that WCTI was not "investor friendly".. From what I've experienced, I disagree. I'm really looking forward to the first two weeks in January.. :) Good Luck to all SpyHoppers!! What is "spyhop" anyway??
Hope I've been of some help.
