Don't be too hasty. Two of MessageMedia's contracts, Standard & Poors and GeoCities, came after Q1. As such these earnings have not contributed to revenues. I'm expecting to see substantial gain in revenues for Q2 so I'll be holding until we know more. Also, something may be up with Cisco Systems.

This whole thing on commercial email is interesting. Here is a bill in the Senate that will open up commercial messaging and strengthen MessageMedia if it passes. The present trend is towards some form of this bill.

thomas.loc.gov

Note Section 2(c)DOMAIN-WIDE OPT-OUT SYSTEM.

Use your imagination and you'll know why Yahoo bot GeoCities and You'll know how important the GeoCities account is for MessageMedia. This whole thing is going to be a clash between the Titans... you know AOL vs Yahoo! Forget the little ISPs that think they own the internet.

Because of MessageMedia's links to Softbank, Yahoo, etc. they will be a player in the commercial email market. It will take some time to develop the market but the legislation is coming.

BTW, At todays prices, MESG is a bargain and worth the wait. So hang tight.
