Thanks Ted, I think having a great site and getting people to visit are two different things. One advantage DIET has is their client list and history of successful experience. They also have a brick and mortar operation versus most start-ups have nothing but a website and some software. Most client/advertisers will want to see some bricks and mortar before they put their money down. IMO John

Phase #2 of Reviews of 'competition': These reviews didn't take long at all: General Nutrition Companies, GNCI--Their site is geared toward general wellness and the sales of their nutritional products. There is a rather lengthly survey you can take which it will use to tell you where your health is at risk and suggested actions to take. This doesn't look like any kind of threat to DIET in terms of personalized dietary information. Mannatech, Inc. MTEX --They have a survey which is geared toward picking out one of their 3 formulas for health that they can then sell to you. Whole Foods Market, WFMI --I saw nothing close to what Surequest is doing. Aetna US Healthcare AEI --Some general health info. Micro Laboratories MLAR --Attractive site geared toward selling their vitamin products. No personalization. Kaire Holdings, Inc. KAHI --They have an attractive site (www.vitaminkingdom.com) which contains information geared toward selling their products. No personalization. In all, these sites seem to not even be close to what Surequest is likely to be offering. We will see. I will continue to seek out other sites to compare under some of the other main portals mentioned in the recent press releases. So far the results are in line with what I found back in January when I was looking for this type of thing. Ironically, I actually was toying with the concept of personalized food preparation before I discovered just how similar Surequest's plans were to my own idea. Even though I was a shareholder I didn't know anything about the site. They have been working on this site for over a year so I expect that it will be quite advanced. Ted
