Alright, Now, I'm Gettin' Embarrassed... Hey, what I can say? It was a fun post. Like my Aunt who used to be in the cookie business would say, "It was a good batch." ( <<EVEN MORE OT>> I'm traveling Boston way on this coming Friday on business. Want to see the house where my Dad was born in Springfield/Indian Orchard. His father was the President of a company that no longer exists, Chapman Valve Corporation. And from a family financial standpoint, it's been all downhill since. If anybody has any recommendations for good ways to kill a weekend plus part of a Monday in the Northeast, lemme know. But, lemme know today... so I won't incur the wrath of more sober board visitors tomorrow. ) Now, let's hope SEEK rises to the occasion. Yahoo! will beat the Street. SEEK's got the strength of last week's rather remarkable volume. I think SOME of that volume was rumor speculation. But, I think more of it were folks buying into Cramer's theory about 9000 and the search for underperformers. They don't need to have heard of Cramer to think that way, though. I'm with SHGLaw on the Warner rumor thing... waiting and seeing... but doubt it. I think our good Harry is serious about building this company. And I think this week will show us some more of that seriousness. Sure, it could all be a game to boost a buyout price, but... again, who knows? BTW, SEEK did NOT get some business from our agency that we really wanted them to get. DCLK did. I just e-mailed SEEK about this. Told them that this deal... which was for our new e-commerce client (subject of an article at PC WEEK Online, but I won't mention their name... too cheesey, bordering on self-promotion) should have at least gotten a little more attention. NOT that it was a million-dollar deal, but it was in the low to mid six figures. DCLK really wowed us with their proposal. SEEK didn't burn many BTU's to come up with their predictable ad plan. I want them to do better. All of my colleagues at work are SEEK investors, so you'd think they'd have a leg up with us. Their clickthrough rates are, by and large, better. But, we needed more to get some bounce for a client who is playing in a very big ballgame. Best Regards All SEEK (and Ionesco) Fans, c m
