Investors Business Daily... DLK is mentioned today in Investors Business Daily on page A8. I do not have a URL for this article, but the following is a quote from this article. This quote is from another message board: "We've built a product that allows an end user to monitor any financial instrument - specific stocks, currencies, commodities," said Pamela LaPine, vice president of marketing at Datalink.net. "We give them a Web-based interface, then they go in and set up their portfolios, specifying the financial instruments and the parameters that they're interested in knowing about." An alert can be sent to the wireless device when a commodity hits a certain price target, when there's a significant increase in trading volume, or to give notice of the size of a stock's last trade, LaPine says. Global Market Pro advances the technology that Datalink.net first developed to provide real-time stock quotes to pagers. "This is a souped-up version," LaPine said. "We've gone to the next level." "The one-way alert option is compatible with any wireless device capable of receiving text messages, while the two-way option is available on Research in Motion's RIM Interactive 950, Palm Inc.'s Palm VII devices and phones that access the Internet through the Wireless Application Protocol. The ability to work with so many devices is a big plus, LaPine says, because employees of corporate customers often use many different devices. The deal with Chase is the biggest yet for tiny Datalink.net, which began trading on the AMEX in December. Datalink.net had a mere $1.5 million in sales last year, but it sees financial services as a key area of growth. It's also building wireless applications for the health care industry, focusing on products to let doctors and administrators access patient records and submit prescriptions wirelessly."
