Hey there TM, I took a position today for a long hold, not day trading, could give a hoot about pennies nickels or even dimes. So, do you know who competition is? I will start doing some due diligence, I always find it helpful to get the lay of the land. Matt, your posts, very helpful. To understand players, what possible trends might be, what larger companies are doing in this arena, all those types of things. At this point, I don't know enough to have decent conservatoin about it but am going to start digging. Anyone that has a framework for the lay of the land here, would be great to hear it. I certainly will contribute to that as I get up to speed. With AOL, for example having 10 million users, the internet advertising market is going to be a major force, in the future, I believe. A whole new market. Kathy

I've read almost every post, some twice. Here's what I preceive: A Heck of a lot of Longs....who end up short! Hype (I've done my share when excited) when making money. When its going up, up, up! Alot of BS all sides! I've been to other threads, seen alot of the ones here! Alot of crazy buyers!! What the Heck could they be thinking? ON & ON & ON... It comes down to again, whats REAL? NETZ looks like cuttin' edge. MY opinion Where will they go? Who really knows? We are all at risk here! Hype is short profit, the facts will be SOLID profit! If the facts are real, the story straight, then this company will take off! LONG term! And you won't be sorry for getting someone to 'come in' when the price was the high for the last 3 months! They will be glad they really went LONG. I will be long, only as long, as there is real support for the price. And that's MY decision! And MY opinion! KZAP

TM: I'm not clear on what NETZ has done for these companies. I read the two complementary letters on the website but they were general statements. I haven't found any unusual TV-like demos and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen a Sesame-Ad or "While You Wait" Apparently, "While You Wait" is for PC's not Mac's. I was unable to open the demo on my Mac. There is nothing for Sesame-Ad so far that I have seen on the echoMEDIA website. I went to the Honda site and checked out some of the graphics. The TV screen with the flashes of images from Baywatch with the red NSX car in it looked like a series of frame-grabs from the episode. This is probably not the TV-like Sesame-Ad but I couldn't find anything on the Honda site that fit that description. There is a lot of animation on the web these days. A company called Vivo software has a pretty nice streaming product called vivo-active but one must remember that currently ALL "live" or "real-time" animation or video is just streaming and it is limited by modem speed, bandwidth and network congestion. Any product that can boast TV quality website video would have to manage that through some other means than the Internet to the home (ie cable modem, XDSL modem, wireless receiver, etc). I'm curious about this companies products and will contact them tomorrow. They seem to have some real interest and growing following of investors on this thread. I've registered on their visitor page. Please do not take my comments to be negative. I'm just trying to determine what they have and would like to hear what others have experienced from their demos and if they were successful loading them and viewing them. I certainly wish NETZ well in their endeavors.
