Wonder of this is called Predatory marketing in Canada for small caps? I heard that Totally Hip purchased a company out of Santa Cruz and they got six new web products in the deal. Why is this important to Net Nanny? THW plans to give away one of the acquired products for free on the web and it directly competes with Net Nanny's product. It's not important unless Totally Hip gives away the Kids parental control browser product that came with the deal. Seems Totally Hip bought this company for the 4 super cool web design tools and 2 other tools are in the childrens web browser market segment. One is majorly competitive with Net Nanny's product and from what I have heard it is super cool, extremely easy to use kids product with more bells and whistles than anything avaliable. This Jim Rafferty guy (who owned the acquired company) is supposed to be a programming guru and famous for creating super cool software. Seems he originally built it for his children to allow them to browse the web safely because everything he looked at that was available didn't do what he wanted or make him feel his kids were safe to browse the web. I called Totally Hip's CEO and he siad that they acquired 100% of Jim's company even though they specifically were not after the kids browser products they got them just the same. It was not their reasoning behind the deal but they said they have some plans to make them available soon. When we asked what Totally Hip planned to do with these two kids products, he said that THW will probably give them away on the Web as a marketing bonuses for free. The No cost Internet Explorer browser killed Netscape's market share. What will this do to Net Nanny? VentureCap2 Bill Folgerty VentureCap1 is on holidays.

No its actually around 50%, but, i'm trying to be a little more conservative. The stock closed up today on some rather diversified buying, high of .75 cents. NNS's chances of getting Nasdaq listing are to meet 1 of the several stipulations. 1. market cap of 50 million 2. net earnings of $300-500,000 3. I can't remember. The closest chance in the interim, and also NNS's thinking, is the earnings within the next 2 quarters. Market cap would be great, that translates into $4.45/share CDN.
