ERICY has a card which will enable transactions over cell phones and the like. A sim card. So this makes sense.

I hope INSP drops the mariachi logo for a more sophisticated one.

John Keister summary

not much we all don't know but a few highlights

1. working on a better search that is more targeted and incorporates yellow pages...also I believe he said it now searches wap sites

2. again pointed out that Hasbro did their DD and picked them for games infrastructure...indicated that the underlying platform for games that go2net brings to the table could be used for any games and it easy to do.....said they put monopoly and scrabble together in two weeks.....question? if that is so true then where the hell is games.com already?

3. talked about message board deal with ndb (22.5 mil) and other message board deals....indicated could be done in other languages

4. Said that Naveen made him drink 15 cups of coffee during lunch because he needed it. Said that Naveen has the hots for Brittany Spears.

levy, you are becoming a master investigator!

I just have time to pop in for a second, but I thought perhaps you might be able to put your "crack" (meaning "of superior excellence or ability," of course <g>) investigative team into digging up something regarding the relationship INSP has with Fusion Networks (FUSN).

Have you noticed that whenever it's a slow news day, Infospace often puts out some Press Release regarding Fusion...often announcing some new deal in Argentina, Brazil, Columbia, Mexico, etc..., and usually including something like "INSP is an investor in Fusion Networks," or "FusionOne...today announced a strategic alliance with INSP."

This long-winded description of FUSN is also often included:

Fusion Networks is a leading provider of One-to-One Internet marketing software, portal technology, applications and content designed to enable corporate customers to develop effective Spanish, English and Portuguese-related Internet strategies. Products include "next generation" Internet tools and customer-oriented applications including personalized content, community services, e-commerce platforms, revolutionary Internet portal design, customer relationship management and integrated One-to-One marketing. Designed to establish lasting relationships with Internet users throughout global Spanish, English and Portuguese-speaking markets, these integrated multimedia applications are currently in use and can be found within Fusion Networks' existing portal network. Vital Content, a subsidiary of Fusion Networks, provides customized web-enabled and multimedia content to Internet industry clientele.

Also, I came across this SI post today, which peaked my interest (makes several references to FUSN), and would greatly appreciate any thoughts you (or anyone else) might have regarding this post: #reply-14416768

Keep up the great work you've been doing on behalf of us GNET/INSP investors!
I for one am really impressed, and definitely owe you a beer (maybe even two <g>)!
