From Stormy Moon on RB: TSIG + Nettaxi + Lycos =??
TSIG Success Is As Simple As 1 2 3
I put three press releases together, starting with the a Nettaxi PR, then a TSIG PR, then a LYCOS PR. Read them in sequence and then realize what it means for TSIG. This puts us in the middle of the busiest portal in the world, just one click behind CD Now ......and with our prices.......look out......not to mention the other Mycards. This is the really big connection. This is a case where 1 + 1 + 1 = 10 when it comes to baggers......or maybe that's 100 bagger. How does a price of $40 sound??????
