Your top 50, Jon? What a joke. In the early going you think everybody had their Yahoo investments down, back when it went public? Get real. Leading edge stuff can be right before everyone's eyes and many won't see it. Let's look at ZuluMedia as a boxer who formerly fought known as SIM. A world champion. Then ownership, whatever, affected performance. The champ went down. A new boxer named Doubleclick took over. Zulu regrouped. So begs the question: how many former champs get to prize fight their titles back? You're good, Jon. Most of 'em. I get a kick out from the folks who believe that because Doubleclick surpassed ZuluMedia while ZuluMedia was in reorg., that ZuluMedia won't get to fight to become champ again. Now there's the real limited thinking when it comes to Zulu. Indeed, the true hint for what might really be happening is found from the early January Wired article, the one free from prejudice, the one about when SIM was bought by Zulu-tek. Only then do you understand Merklermedia still does and why Zulu is rated "Best in Class." ZuluMedia is just about to return to the ring. You can't deny this fact, Jon. It's staring you right in the face. A stock car driver in a new car needs to prove performance not of ability, but the car as well. Once Zulu does proves this, the recognition from Merklermedia will be quite copycatted by others. In fact, the rejuvenated Zulu alaready has appeared on the radar screens of internet tracking companies. Menawhile, you're now trying to tell us that Internet.com cannot set a table, cannot make a judgment on a quality company? Why not face up to the fact that you're of a school of thought that clients will only line up behind one or two providers, and that therefore there's no room for Zulu. Is this your limited view? Further, how can you not admit that the company most vertically integrated will benefit from the most variety of new clients and that these new clients will be many. So, in the end, even were Zulu to rise and fight for the championship again and lose, it can and will still do well. Even Hertz and Avon got Budget, et. al. So, Jon, why do you diminish prospects when you don't have to?
