There's some good new customers, but AKAM's press release about doubling their customer base is so puffed-up it's hard to read it through to the end. ""The pace at which our customers are discovering the significance of Akamai's FreeFlow service is a testament to what this technology means for delivering a better Internet," said George Conrades, chairman and CEO of Akamai. "As a company, we are extremely proud to be working with over 200 world-class Web sites who are using the Internet to accelerate their vision. Our goal is to help these eBusinesses succeed by stretching the outer limits of the `Net, making Web performance issues a distant memory." Yuk. Any technology this good should basically have ascended by now. The word "proud" is used about 7 times in the press release. Doesn't pride come before a fall? Show me the money George. --- (OT) Anyone see the CEO of FMKT on CNBC asked if he would invest in his company at the current stock price? That was pretty good.

i added some today above 290.. i can't believe this pig opened up 10 pts on news of such a small alliance... it was a gift... i am stunned by akam's market cap... again and for the record, i think sandpiper/isld is a better play b/c of its alliance with inktomi and sun micro... peterschmidt, the ceo of inkt, is a one bad dude... he is playing on isld's team... i like isld, and akam is worth 7 times more... stunning, ludicrous, and truly meritless... i am not a shareholder of isld, and i am short akam... i will buy isld, one day, when the streets are filled with blood...until then, i will be short this pig<on 'recycle' mode>...until the market caps of the the 2 cross... steve
