2 quick random thoughts I've been wondering about. It will also deliver instant stock quotes, which is on the up-side for sales. This is the era of rampant and almost lunatic personal trading. That alone should sell some Portico to people who don't actually have to have it otherwise. Also. Why is there nothing from the ad agency handling Portico. Big, big hype on big, big new york ad agency who were going to do Portico advertising, which most certainly should have meant TV,etc. I THOUGHT. Per their press release? Has anyone tracked the no-show on that at all? I was waiting for the TVcommercials a la the surfing executives on the pavements of NYC for AT&T. Very, very impressive. Was expecting something at least good, at least something. So far, has anyone seen even a small blip between l-800 psychic commercials, even? On the worst cable places? I haven't seen squat anywhere. Very strange. I mean, how long do they plan to wait after sale of Portico is possible to advertise that Portico is for sale other than by stockholder to stockholder. What are they doing? Anything? Anywhere? Add that to the incredible silence and no-show follow-up on the Digital Living Room, hyped over and over and over and responsible apparently for at least 3 different short pops on GMGC. I couldn't find a reason in the world except recycled DLR press release and stupid merger rumors on Yahoo. Anyone that has a clue on nothing from the ad agency, please post anything you know.
