Dear Michigan Buoy: You stated that "management at ALOY will [not] disclose their deals with Portals publically until substantial revenue can be directly attributed." You are correct: In a recent interview, CEO Matt Diamond stated: "The portal deals, and all the excitement that a lot of times these announcements surround, we look at 'Is this cost-effective for our business?' And we do look at them. Quite frankly, we've done some of them and didn't announce them. We're testing them and as we go deeper, we'll announce those that are working and we're going to expand on." cbs.marketwatch.com
