I presume everyone saw the WSJ ad. B3, full page. For some reason, I was sort of depressed after reading the advert. I thought: how is our little firm going to make this market? This ad is nice, but it will take a lot more for GMGC to establish true national presence. The enormity of the task hit me. In my travels, I always make it a point to ask people if they now about Portico and then to show it off. 99% of the time they've never heard of it, and this is usually a geek audience. It will take us a long long time to get mindshare in the wider mobile public ... Thus I agree even more with Drew and DeepResearch. We need some heavy partners asap. This go-it-alone with local resellers is not going to get us there quick enough. We're on internet time here, a few weeks can make an enormous difference. I hope GMGC shares this feeling of urgency.
