If IMON has exclusive agreements, or just any agreements with the search engines which are now known as portals, I don't think IMON would try to peddle their software. Also Webzinger has been around for awhile so it's not a new concept. The only thing new is the JAVA platform, but that in itself will not entice any portals. What's the business model? How will they generate cash flow? What market share do they hope to gain? Is this a viable plan? I think everyone already knows the answer.

"Who would use another search engine if there was a search engine that offered Webzinger and searched on all the search engines?" there already is a free search engine that searches all the big names in one go.

Terp - I agree - IMON will be big. All this bantering about this weeks stock price is beside the real point. I am using the 6.0 beta version right now as I'm typing this message. Web Zinger is doing a search for me on Bermuda. Web Zinger is easy and fun to use. The tape recorder format with record/play/erase buttons makes using this search robot sort of irresistible. This week the price will go up - the price will go down and I'll try to time it all without screwing myself. But after actually getting my hands on one of IMON's products I've decided to definetely keep an eye on the co and the technology down the road. It's sort of like going from looking at one picture at a time to motion pictures - a big step which may not have been recognized as such at first.

>>>Everyone is missing the whole point with IMON. Granted, nobody wants to pay $44.95 for the software. However, none of the search engines will want to be without this product. IMON will either sign an exclusive agreement with one of the biggest search companies, or it will license this product to all of them. Who would use another search engine if there was a search engine that offered Webzinger and searched on all the search engines? Why do you think they went to Java script? This is a monster, plain and simple.>>>>> Exactly. It's the technology here that is important not how many copies of the software that they can sell. Every search engine is going to have to offer this technology and IMON has it patented. They'll likely be signing some very big deals with people like SUNW and probably some of the search engine companies too in the near future. Actually I bet they just get bought out before a lot of this happens at a very handsome premium. Their software was written in JAVA script at the request of SUNW and IMON obliged knowing that SUNW is very interested in the technology. That's a great company to have on your side. We are going much higher on Tuesday
