>>These people, with close ties to ideaLab! and Bill Gross (and many successful .coms), are a very powerful step forward, IMO.<< The primary attraction for me when I first bought shares in this company was the fact that idealab! accepted 400,000 shares of Net Shepherd in consideration for selling Answers.com to NSI. idealab!, and the people who worked there have been behind the scenes of some of the most successful IPO's in history. Answers.com management team now is composed of people who know how to make an Internet company attractive to the investment community. Their time working close to, and observing, Bill Gross has to be invaluable. One of the best bits of advice I received a long time ago is to get close to, then observe, and learn from successful people. Then do what they do. You will improve your chances of success dramatically. With this in mind, I have to say that the Answers.com and idealab! connection sounds pretty good to me! Crazy Canuk

If you recall, Net Shepherd has announced that one of the areas they plan to focus on is the area of Customer Relationship Management. Over the past few days, I have been researching some follow-up information related to this area. Ever since the company announced their signing of a licensing agreement with Pivotal for their Customer Relationship products, I have been intrigued and interested in digging deeper into how Net Shepherd might maximize the opportunity that this agreement presents them - and with whom. The connection that really turned on the proverbial light bulb in my head was an article that a friend sent me. My friend knows of my interest in technology, the Internet, E-commerce, and E-business. He felt I might appreciate how it might relate to another stock we both have shares in. However, after reading it, this article meant turned on more light bulbs related to Net Shepherd than the one he had intended me to think about. Why, well because it enabled me to be able to connect a few more dots in the NSI puzzle. As a result, I am posting my thoughts here. Please excuse the way in which I will be posting this information (in a three part series), however I feel that this is the best way to really show what I believe is the tremendous potential before NSI. Post #1 - A discussion of Net Shepherd's licensing of Pivotal's Customer Relationship Application (note: this is a re-post of an earlier one). Post # 2 - An article which explains the link between Enterprise Relationship (ERP) focused Companies and their drive to provide Customer Relationship Management (CRM) as one of the important components of a fully integrated and "complete" service. Please note the mention of the company BAAN within the article. BAAN is one of the top ERP vendors in the world! Post # 3 - Summary and a discussion of one of Net Shepherd's BOD members. This person represents the Vanenburg group of companies. Note, there is a very important connection to BAAN. After you read all three of these posts, I hope that you get as excited about this information as I was. Hmmm, make that ". . . as I am". Crazy Canuk
